IIRC, it's been discussed before, and it simply wouldn't work. D3D has too
many ties to the Windows API that a non-Windows based implementation wouldn't
be appropriate for Wine (try getting an HDC from a D3D resource, or passing an
HWND to D3D). Gallium would have to substitute these for X11 resources, or
custom resources that tie into X, so wouldn't reflect the Wine's internal
state.
Additionally, not all drivers will support Gallium (eg. nVidia binaries), so a
D3D10->GL path will still be needed.
