(as stated at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms644990%28v=vs.85%29.aspx) installs
a hook procedure into a hook chain. The other calls are similar in that they
call the next hook in the chain and remove the hook.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318804 makes things clear. The only real
swines are the low level WH_MOUSE_LL and WH_KEYBOARD_LL stuff which isn't
supported under .NET

Effectively in .NET land rather thank USER32 land

1. Create a class containing whatever you need
2. Create an instance of the class wherever you need it - remember to put it
in a try/catch (creates the hook)
3. Add a method in (1) to do what you need it to do

As for the unhook, in C++, it would be simple - delete. In C# either use the
garbage collector methods or Finalize as part of the try/catch set up.

Not sure about the CallNextHookEx - it calls the next hook in the chain.
