D3DXCheckTextureRequirements hack

The game here exits after a failing call to D3DXCheckTextureRequirements
(because of a CheckDeviceFormat with D3DFMT_R8G8B8). The attached patch (it's
really a hack) makes the game start, but with some important bugs: images
appear just in the upper left corner of the screen, no mouse pointer and
missing buttons. From the +d3dx log the likely culprits are buggy/incomplete
ID3DXFont and ID3DXSprite implementations (and maybe also something to do with
the d3dx texture functions).
As a workaround, native d3dx9_36 allows to play the game without issues, as far
as I can see.
