/*
  DLL Interface for PowerToys. The powertoy_create() (see below) must return
  an object that implements this interface.

  See tools/project_template/ModuleTemplate for simple, noop, PowerToy implementation.

  The PowerToys runner will, for each PowerToy DLL:
    - load the DLL,
    - call powertoy_create() to create the PowerToy.

  On the received object, the runner will call:
    - get_key() to get the non localized ID of the PowerToy,
    - enable() to initialize the PowerToy.
    - get_hotkeys() to register the hotkeys the PowerToy uses.

  While running, the runner might call the following methods between create_powertoy()
  and destroy():
    - disable()/enable()/is_enabled() to change or get the PowerToy's enabled state,
    - get_config() to get the available configuration settings,
    - set_config() to set various settings,
    - call_custom_action() when the user selects clicks a custom action in settings,
    - get_hotkeys() when the settings change, to make sure the hotkey(s) are up to date.
    - on_hotkey() when the corresponding hotkey is pressed.

  When terminating, the runner will:
    - call destroy() which should free all the memory and delete the PowerToy object,
    - unload the DLL.

  The runner will call on_hotkey() even if the module is disabled.

  Called by the PowerToys runner to initialize each PowerToy.
