That's exactly what I've just done ;)  I also added MessageBeep() so
you can make a computer bother people. I did wonder about adding the
20 or so constants needed, but life in Windows is all about hundreds
of constants!

Ah, I see what you mean: the existing get_process_name() method gives
the exe name but not the full path. I will investigate this further.

(The unicode version is coming on nicely: I can now copy Greek to the
clipboard and do entertaining multilingual things with the console
title bar. The console (as always) is retarded and unicode-resistant,
but LfW's interactive Lua console in SciTE works beautifully.)
