I hope to get vertexshaders into winecvs by Friday this week, it's more or less the same as
vertexshader support in d3d8 but with a load of parser fixes (it can now parse V2 and 3 shaders).
Pixelshaders are more or less identical to vertexshaders so they should follow soon afterwards.

To properly support version 2 and 3 shaders we need to use GL shader language instead of vertex
and fragment program, it expect it to take a couple of weeks to get a cross compiler up and
running. Blends also needs to be implemented using shaders to efficiently use VBO and the cards
onboard memory for animated models. This affect more applications / games than V2 and 3 shaders so
I'll try and develop it first.
