Caveat Emptor:
If you do this you may annoy customers (on subsequent launches) who
launch your application and then switch to Safari/Mail/Finder/other
while your app is launching... Moments later (or seconds or minutes
later depending on how long your app takes to launch on that machine)
your app will appear to hijack the user's computer for no discernible
reason.


An additional step to avoid annoying these people might be to only
order your app to the front if it's the first time it has been
launched...? ($0.02)
