Yeah, that's what I meant. I just thought it would be a nice showcase of Wine(lib) if the best-known open source graphics engine would have DirectX-support not only on Windows, but also on Linux. I've had this idea for a while now, but it might be a nice SoC-project.

Ok, then ignore my objections, that indeed sounds like a fun project.
