DirectDraw over Direct3D

That basically bows down to have WineD3D completely replace the 'HAL'
architecture which was introduced by the TG merge.

Which is kinda an idea that I like :-)

Well, we can first stabilize D3D7 => WineD3D (which will already be quite a
lot of work to first do and then polish) and then see if we move the 2D part
too.

And then we will need to rename it to something else ... if not merge it
integrally into the X11DRV so that other DLLs (like the new Vista ones :-) )
would be able to do 3D accelerations :-)
