Text-based window switcher for Unity

The visual switcher is very poor at providing context. E.g. the browser window
thumbnails are too small to tell apart.

This switcher shows a list of window titles and allows you to choose one
by typing first character(s) of the sought window. Press return to bring the
window to the front.

All credit goes to the original author, Jacob Vlijm. Thanks!
