Direct 3D 8.0 Wrapper for OpenGL Open Sourced

Hi,

Just found this on http://www.osnews.com/:

Direct 3D 8.0 Wrapper for OpenGL Open Sourced
http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=613

Not sure what is the license, but maybe it could
be incorporated to wine as an alternative to the
transgaming's version.

ciao

Well, you're welcome to try, but their 'library' seems to 
consist mostly of stubs and Microsoft's own code.  There
is very very little there. The prospect is certainly not
keeping me up at nights.  8-)

It might be better to help find us more subscribers so that
we can release our real, working code to the WineHQ tree.

The license doesn't really matter, as long as it's free it could be used
as a D3D8.dll replacement.

Since I can't seem to make it work on either of my windows computers I
don't know what its output _should_ look like, however it does convince
their demo applications to run (which wine alone could not do). I'll try
it with a few more demanding apps and report back.

(my guess is that there screenshot in the interview was a fake because all
their samples show as untextured)
