I too have been keen to merge the work with winehead,
this hasn't happen todate for a couple of reasons.
1: I've been moving house so I an afford to continue
directX 9 work.

2: Because a lot of the work I was doing involved
interface a structure changes large areas of the code
were affected, combining this with the day or two turn
around with patches into wine cvs and I was spending
more time merging with wine than developing directX. 
Because the patches I would send into winecvs would be
outdated so quickly I was reluctant to send them in.

The work has now stabalise a lot, so sending in
patches should be troublesome, I never managed to
figure out how to work svk properly.

Oliver.
