[PATCH 1/2] d3dx9: Implement D3DXCreateBox()

[Henri Verbeet]

I'm not really in charge of d3dx9, and I would've expected Matteo or
Rico to write this instead, but here are some comments.

The explicit array size isn't needed, and I don't think it adds much
for clarity. The indentation looks pretty arbitrary, the usual style
for tables like these is to put the brace on a new line, and then
indent the elements once. I.e.:
    static const float sign_x[] =
    {
        -1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f,  1.0f,  1.0f,
         1.0f,  1.0f,  1.0f,  1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f,  1.0f,  1.0f,
        -1.0f,  1.0f,  1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f,  1.0f,  1.0f,
    };

I know d3dx9 isn't terribly consistent about this, but:
    TRACE("device %p, width %.8e, height %.8e, depth %.8e, mesh %p,
adjacency %p.\n",
            device, width, height, depth, mesh, adjacency);

These are inconsistent. I'd prefer the second.

I suppose this works, but I think it would be clearer to store a unit
box as an array of D3DXVECTOR3s, and then call D3DXVec3Scale() on the
vectors. The "24" would then become "ARRAY_SIZE(unit_box)" as well.

    if (FAILED(hr = D3DXCreateBuffer(sizeof(adjacency_table), adjacency)))
