Just wanted to update this bug with the status of the patch that naur uploaded.
There is a thread on wine-devel about it here:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2011-December/093617.html .

The patch is considered a hack and also was likely never proposed for inclusion
on wine-patches.

The thread on the mailing list says that functionality required to make D3D
render properly without a window will be added after Wine 1.4 is released and
that it will be "fairly invasive". The freeze and RC cycle is expected "fairly
soon" by Henri Verbeet. Indeed, just 12 hours ago Alexandre posted a message to
the list ( http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2012-January/093629.html
) indicating that 1.4rc1 will probably come after 1.3.37, and any major changes
must come into place in the next "3 weeks or so" if they are to make it into
Wine 1.4 and/or the 1.4 release candidates.

In summary, official patch/support should come in the relatively near future
after Wine 1.4 is released (roughly March-May sometime?).
