I noticed that much of the work was done. I did indeed plan to use
this as a reference. However, from what I've read of the patch that
doesn't include the DirectX "conformance" portion that I described. I
am also under the impression that I'd have to write a lot of unit
tests, which takes time. Then, there's the whole getting code by
Alexandre thing. For a lowly student like myself, that may not be so
easy. :-)
