Test results for ddraw patches

That's not good :-(
A guess is that they hit the 64 mb video memory limit. Video memory counting 
works somehow different in ddraw, and many ddraw games hit the 64 mb limit.

I have found a bug in IWineGDISurface_PrivateSetup which caused aoe2 to crash, 
I will send a fix for wined3d. If the game crashes in a memcpy in GetDC, then 
it's likely that bug. Might cause the other breakages too.
