plain terminal output

The game shows an error message right after started, saying 'Error creating
renderer'. Pressing on the <Ok> button launches the game configuration utility.
Pressing on <Cancel> quits the game. Thus the game is unable to start.

The game starts correctly up until this commit:

The patch cannot be reverted on wine-1.3.30-145-g7a4349b (compilation of the
source ended with errors), but
git checkout 4365d2905c6d1b5f530b077bec0d152e327be23b  >> the game errors out
git reset --hard HEAD^  >> the game starts correctly

Steps to reproduce the problem in the demo:
1. Install the demo as usual. The game requires the following native
components: wmp9 quartz devenum. You can install them via winetricks (actually,
the error message appears well before the intro video).
2. Run the game by executing ../Buka/Pathologic Demo/bin/Final/Game.exe. On the
first launch the config utility will appear; you don't need to change anything,
just press on <Ok>... here comes the trouble: 'Error creating renderer'.

Let me know if you need a log with debug channels enabled.
