Tooltips

I got tooltips working.  Turned out all I had to do was add
WS_EX_TOPMOST--the tooltips were being displayed behind the window. :(

But, they work now, and it's a lot simpler than before.  The interface is
actually the same, with one addition:  setFont() can be used to change the
tooltip font.  Just make sure that you've created at least one tooltip prior
to changing the font, since win32lib won't create the tooltip control until
you do (one tooltip control can handle any number of tooltips).  Just use
tooltipControl as the control's id when calling setFont().

Just don't try to set a tip for anything that's not an actual control, like
rebarbands or tabitems, because it won't work.

Oh, and I ripped out all the emulation code. :)

As always, you can get it at:
