Is it really safe to assume D3D10_SDK_VERSION will always keep the
same value? (I know d3dx9 does it as well.) For d3d9 the SDK version
changed between d3d9b and d3d9c, for example.

At least with all d3dx10 DLLs released so far, D3D10_SDK_VERSION has not 
changed. Obviously, if it does change in the future, we will need to 
accommodate that in new DLLs.

Although I suppose we could hard-code the SDK version into the DLLs now, 
rather than having to change it later, which I guess is what you were 
getting at, Henri. I'm not too convinced Microsoft is likely to change 
it during the D3D10 lifecycle, but I guess it doesn't hurt to be safe.
