    intercepted by us. We can do it because all our stubs has the
    same structure and points to our IntrerceptEntry function

   FUNCTION: Interceptor::bInterceptVTableFunction

   PURPOSE:  Intercept a function in the specified slot in the
    specified VTable.

      This is a stub which was prepared by the config file parser
      to intercept this function. But we may find many 
      implementations of the same interface. Each implementation
      will require a separate stub. They will be different only
      by address of the original function. Therefore, we will
      use this stub the first time and allocate a new stub
      on the following calls.

   void * p_pVTable          - Pointer to the VTable
    Our caller must verify that this is a good read pointer and 
    enough memory is accessible to cover the slot in the table 
    with the specified index. Normally the caller will
    intercept several functions and may check the memory only once
    for all.

   int    p_iIndexOfFunction      Index of slot in the VTable
   MemoryWithChangedAttributes & p_rMemChangedAttrib - object to 
                                  control memory attributes change
