When starting HFM and an instance is already running, restore the already running instance to the screen. #180

What enhancement are you proposing?

- When double-clicking on the HFM.exe and an instance is already running,
restore the already running instance to the screen in lieu of showing a
text box.  

Watch out for the Mono support on this.  It seems as if Mono doesn't like
"stopping" HFM... and even after the process has died it still reports that
HFM is already running.

What version of the product are you using?

- v0.4.9.154

Marked Fixed for Revision 169.

Tested code on Mono 2.4.x development VM, remoting works fine!!! :)  Also fixed 
that
stupid "Mono" problem in the previous "single instance" implementation.  I 
suspect it
had to do with using GC.KeepAlive() on the Mutex instance.  Now using a static 
Mutex
instance and explicitly calling Mutex.ReleaseMutex();
