No, all I wanted to say is that wined3d depends on other parts of wine and 
cannot be used without the rest of wine as-is, because it depends on some 
things in libwine.so and other wine libs(e.g. for EnterCriticalSection and 
LeaveCriticalSection and in future most likely opengl32.dll).

How you talk to DirectX in detail is not my deep concern; I'm fine with a 
wrapper to normal Direct3D9.
