A couple of months ago when VirtualBox received opengl support I contacted some of their developers using irc and told them how to run WineD3D on Windows and gave them some test dlls. It seems they picked it up. They are just using stock WineD3D (with two or three hacks to work around bugs in their GL implementation).
