I don't think this is the case. The d3dx9_XX DLLs aren't managed code,
and they don't belong into any GAC directory anyway, just into plain ol'
windows\system[32].
The problem is probably that a game installer may rely on the DX
redistributable package to install those DLLs. I don't know if that runs
on Wine, but if it doesn't, well, the DLL won't get where it should, too.
