On OS/2, trying to run Firebird when Thunderbird is already open merely send
control over to the running mozilla-based app.  This is do to the MessageWindow
code in xpfe/bootstrap/nsNativeAppSupportOS2.cpp;  all three different
applications have the same message window ID.

Taking.  Patch coming.

First, I changed the Message Window ID handling, so that all 3 apps don't share
the same ID.  Now, each app creates the ID from an Atom based on its name. 
However, even here, the msg window id is not guaranteed to be unique amongst
all running apps.  So if we find an running app that shares the same ID, we
double check that we also share the same window class name.  If so, then we get
the window handle of the running app and send it the requests.

Made it so if we have to add an atom for the class name, then assume the app
isn't running.	Also, added comments.

Kaply, what do you think of this one?  Is it better than the first patch?
