Well, it shouldn't even be a dll, just a folder were put in all the d3dx9 code
and let the d3dx9_xx.dlls just export the functions they need.
I don't know of how much the makefile system is capable, but maybe we can
put all the d3dx9_xx.spec files in the same directory to improve overviewability,
I don't like these 13 dlls/d3dx9 directories that much :D
Anyways, what are the concrete differences between the d3dx9_xx.dlls?

Then that code should not go in dlls/d3dx9 but in libs/d3dx9 or some 
such.

In the pas we've had multiple dlls in a single dlls/xxx sub-directory... 
but in sub-directories thereof. Anyway that's the past. Now it's all be 
standardised:
 * for each dll we implement there one and only one subdirectory in 
'dlls'
 * conversely, each 'dlls' subdirectory implements one and only one dll

That's quite practical to automate the generation of Makefiles, Visual 
Studio projects, automated code checking, etc. Besides, what's an 13 
extra directories in a sea of already 233 dlls.
