GSoC 2012 - Implement a few missing functions in D3DX9

[Christian Costa]

Hi Józef,

There are some work already done by Tony Wasserka which didn't get in git:
http://repo.or.cz/w/wine/d3dx9TW.git

DDS support has been added in this patch:
http://repo.or.cz/w/wine/d3dx9TW.git/commitdiff/f7fd4619de1cd0ea3bdf9b2fd0195c098d3b9bd0.
I have an updated version and planned to submit it later. FOURCC support 
is also missing.

There is also some other D3DX9 patches lying around that didn't get in.

You may take a look if you want to be sure not to make something more or 
less already done.

Bye,
Christian
