This variable cannot (and in Windows isn't either) be exported from the
shared library (aka DLL), so it's not defined there. Rather, it's supposed
to be in a static library (in Windows it's something like dinput.lib, I
think). I suppose it could be put into Wine's libuuid.a or something,
whenever anyone feels like adding it there (i.e. when they need it, which
I don't right now, since I don't compile DirectX apps with Winelib yet).
