If you don't want autoraise you have to hack the registry. And even then it works very badly. A lot of apps, at least back when I was using XMouse on XP, assume that if they have the focus they're at the top of the stack, and some (mostly the Microsoft ones!) will autoraise themselves regardless of the registry setting.
Focus-follows-mouse on Windows isn't, or at least wasn't, much of a success. It was marginally less annoying than click-to-focus, IMO, but only marginally.
