Well, just look at, for example, 'dinput8'. That's the easiest DLL I know
and should be pretty equivalent to 'd3d8'.

Basically, you need to 
  1) create the d3d8 directory
  
  2) create a spec file with what winedump tells you
  3) create a d3d8_main.c (or whatever) file with the stubs in it
  4) create a Makefile.in file

(from 2) to 4) is just basic copy / paste / replace from what is in dinput8
 using the information provided by MSDN / winedump).

  5) run make_dlls in the dlls directory
  6) add a 'dlls/d3d8/Makefile' line in configure.ac and regenerate configure
  
And that should be all :-)

PS: but well, you could have found everything by yourself (well, it's not
    that hard to look at a sample DLL and look how it is done) :-)
