It is certainly not hard, and the old ddraw code had decompression support. 
The issue is more a legal one.

VIA holds a patent on s3tc compression. There is a s3tc 
compression/decompression library 
available(http://homepage.hispeed.ch/rscheidegger/dri_experimental/s3tc_index.html), 
but the legal situation of using it is difficult. The old ddraw code used 
that lib, if available, to work with s3tc surfaces.

You can basically just copypaste the code from old ddraw(wine 0.9.15, 
dlls/ddraw/surface_dib.c I think) and see if that helps. A different way 
would be to use opengl to upload the compressed texture and read it back 
uncompressed, but this is tricky from a wined3d point of view because 
surface_gdi.c is supposed to work completely without opengl.
