Re: [PATCH 2/3] d3dx9: Set dirty flag on parameter change.

[Paul Gofman]

Yes, arrays and structs are always considered completely dirty, it is in 
my test (for both shader constants and states).
Setting dirty each element here is actually a leftover from early 
implementation when I did not know that, I will fix it (just put it off 
the loop).
