Although technically there doesn't seem to be any links between ddraw
and wined3d, it is possible for a 3D app to use d3d8 with ddraw.  In
fact this is exactly what 3DMark2001SE does, and it is the reason I
ended up porting ddraw as well.  Of course I would have preferred
having to only modify wined3d, but I wanted to prevent as many
regressions as possible when I finally submit my changes, so I went
ahead and did ddraw along with d3d8 and wined3d.

Regards,
  Aric
