Our d3d implementation works pretty well on Windows(well, as good as it does
on Wine), with the exception of directdraw. The problem with ddraw is that
ddraw.dll needs wined3d.dll, which loads opengl32.dll, and Microsoft's
opengl32.dll loads ddraw.dll. Oops.

Currently we have no real attacking point to this issue.
