Not directly, but I think we'd consider exposing an interface that's
conceptually similar to Present. (I.e., "replace the contents of this
window with the contents of this native drawable"), at least to
internal DLLs like d3d9. The d3d9 dll could then pass a callback to
Nine using that internal function to actually get things to the
screen. There would be some details to work out, but I think that's an
approach that may be worth exploring.

Of course I'd also still prefer Nine to be used as a wined3d backend
instead of as a replacement for d3d9, but that's a mostly orthogonal
issue.
