ETA: When it's done!

Turns out there's no need to add any additional features for hot-launching/hot-renaming of Steam game executables. If you use the Steam URI protocol (via LauncherMode=URI + LauncherURI) to run the games you can simply tack your game arguments onto GameArgs and Steam will oblige. Creating a non-Steam game shortcut is, unfortunately, necessary though.

Status update: v1.08 is nearing completion, the only thing I have left to do is to implement a better method of tracking what the launcher and game processes are doing so that OSOL gets confused less when a game wants to restart itself or when the launcher wants to auto-update before the game is launched.
