FEAR Combat

[EA Durbin]

I've found an informative blog on these .dlls. This guy wrote a mini 
installer for them, I don't know about the legality of it...

http://inky.50megs.com/blogs/2005/10/directx-updates-dll-hell-revisited.htm

these aren't included in the standard direct3d package. These .dlls 
d3dx9_x.dll's  come in the direct x redistributable package for software 
developers?

Also I've read that managed directx .dlls are supposed to be installed in 
the global assembly cache folder (C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC), but wine doesn't 
implement assemblies yet  (Sxs.dll) as outlined in bug 5965.
