Research direction

Start by reading User32.java and locating the existing User32.dll function mappings. Check how nearby native functions are declared, then add the missing WindowFromPoint mapping and verify it against the Windows API signature. Done means the function is exposed through User32.java consistently with the surrounding declarations.
