Getwindowinfo branch (#12)

* revisiting autohotkeyactions.py, beginning to work again...
* extenvvars.py tidied up, the "remember" functionality across calls removed,
  now all directory settings in natlinkstatus are found with %natlinkdir% or even %natlink% as directory content.
  also %unimacrouser% finds the %unimacrouserdirectory% setting (both work)
* bring unimacroactions.py in clipboard functions under try finally  for CloseClipboard() (Issue 11, which also blocked the clipboard at times)
* small improvement to inivars, giving less errors...
* edit some documentation in sendkeys.py
