d3dx9__xx dlls

Following Alexandre  (and I agree with him :D ), one only needs to  
export the functions of d3dx9_36 (the latest one) to the older  
d3dx9_xx dlls.
So, we just just need to implement the functions in the d3dx9_36 dll  
repertory.
No wine_d3dx9 is useful.

What do we do if there's a d3dx9_37.dll next month?

One thing that comes to mind is: git-mv d3dx9_36 d3dx9_37 and create a
forward dll for the old one.

Cheers,

Renames are "cheap" in git and we do not loose the history.

I also think that rename is not a good idea.
I would like propose a new idea, why dont we have different spec files
inside wine_d3dx for all different versions of dlls.
Its something like we have done it in the ole32.
But, it requires some makefile/configure cruft.

Heh. I didn't say that i don't like renames. I said renames are a
workable solution: read there's no technical reason why to not use them.

There's no need to name that wine_d3dx. Nothing stops us to name it
d3d9x and have all the other versions generated inside that.
