Look moron, the pdf file on disk has changed.  If I double click a file
and it's already open you can do one of two things:

  1) Bring the window that contains the old version to the front and
     reload it from disk and show me the new version

  2) Open a new window and show two versions - the already loaded version
     and the new version - at the same time.

What I don't want you to do is pop the frickin' window to the front and
show me the *old* version, leaving me to spend half an hour debugging the
script that created the file trying to work out why it hasn't changed the
output.

FFS.

Mark.
