I'm not quite sure what the correct way to deal with this situation
would be, if we want to address this at all. I figure that most users
of games that rely on the D3DX utility DLLs usually won't have any
reason to install the WIC redist, and most of the time, they would
have cause to install the native d3dx9_*.dll libraries to work around
unimplemented functionality, which would sidestep the issue.

I suppose, given that winetricks does offer verbs that potentially
break builtins, the issue could simply be ignored, or a warning could
be issued regarding the potential issue, if you think that's merited.
