DirectDraw status

Hm. I will download the file when I'm back at the university, but I have 
holidays now for 2 weeks :)

Note that the ddraw merge doen't target a speed improvement for now, and 
wined3d is a little bit slower than the currect ddraw Direct3D code. So 
unless you hit a bug in the ddraw code, the performance won't improve.

Yeah, report them to wine-devel. But I'm afraid that most d3d games, except 
the ones I tried will fail for now.

Thanks for the report,
Stefan
