/**
 * PPP_GetInterface() is called by the browser to query the module for
 * interfaces it supports.
 *
 * Your module must implement the <code>PPP_Instance</code> interface or it
 * will be unloaded. Other interfaces are optional.
 *
 * This function is called from within browser code whenever an interface is
 * needed. This means your plugin could be reentered via this function if you
 * make a browser call and it needs an interface. Furthermore, you should not
 * make any other browser calls from within your implementation to avoid
 * reentering the browser.
 *
 * As a result, your implementation of this should merely provide a lookup
 * from the requested name to an interface pointer, via something like a big
 * if/else block or a map, and not do any other work.
 *
 * @param[in] interface_name A pointer to a "PPP" (plugin) interface name.
 * Interface names are null-terminated ASCII strings.
 *
 * @return A pointer for the interface or <code>NULL</code> if the interface is
 * not supported.
