(win32) speedfan api control

[tlviewer]

hello,

If you run the Mainboard monitor, speedfan, here is
an ActivePython script to force automatic fan control.
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂhttp://www.almico.com/speedfan.php

It's a great example of how clean the WinApi interface is
in ActivePython. The script sets focus to the checkbox of
interest and toggles the checkbox. AFAIK, speedfan will only
start without fan control, requiring the user to manually
check the checkbox to turn it on. 

hope someone finds it useful,
