The only comment I have on the patch is that you are using the rectangle
from the 'User_DirectDrawSurface_unlock_update' code. The big problem here
is that for old DirectX versions (versions 1 to 3), the lock rectangle was
not repeated in the Unlock call (it was only present in the Lock code).
So, basically, you will always force a full redraw for these old DirectX
versions. So, the best would be to add the dirty rectangles in the Lock
calls (if we are not in READONLY mode).
A part from that, the patch looks nice.
Same comments as in my other mails about contributors :-)

PS: all these dirty region handling should be factorized as I did the same
kind of hacks in the D3D code to speed up transfer between 2D and 3D
buffers.
