Rewrote in plain C to reduce the footprint and memory usage. (suggested by Andrey Unis)
Simplified the overall code base to make it more readable and maintainable.
Changed the license from 3-clause to 2-clause BSD License.
v1.2 - 28 Sep 2013
Removed boost dependency (jarredholman).
Fixed a small bug in the GetRelativeBranchDestination function (pillbug99).
Added the MH_RemoveHook function, which removes a hook created with the MH_CreateHook function.
Added the following functions to enable or disable multiple hooks in one go: MH_QueueEnableHook, MH_QueueDisableHook, MH_ApplyQueued. This is the preferred way of handling multiple hooks as every call to MH_EnableHook or MH_DisableHook suspends and resumes all threads.
Made the functions MH_EnableHook and MH_DisableHook enable/disable all created hooks when the MH_ALL_HOOKS parameter is passed. This, too, is an efficient way of handling multiple hooks.
If the target function is too small to be patched with a jump, MinHook tries to place the jump above the function. If that fails as well, the MH_CreateHook function returns MH_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION. This fixes an issue of hooking the LoadLibraryExW function on Windows 7 x64 (reported by Obble).
v1.1 - 26 Nov 2009
Changed the interface to create a hook and a trampoline function in one go to prevent the detour function from being called before the trampoline function is created. (reported by xliqz)
Shortened the function names from MinHook_* to MH_* to make them handier.
v1.0 - 22 Nov 2009
Initial release.
