The howto instructs users to set ddraw, d3d8 and d3d9 back to builtin after
installing the runtime, so the patch would have an effect. However, I am not
quite happy that Tom put that howto online because (a) many users don't set the
DLLs back, and this seems to be the case here, and (b), it makes users
incorrectly believe that they can use Microsoft's D3D implementation on Wine.
This is not true, all that is usable from the dx runtime are high level helper
libraries(d3dx9_xy.dll), DirectPlay and DirectMusic.
