[Wine] Feature request: Shader Emulation for Old Graphics Cards

[DARKGuy .]

Well, WINE acts a layer between the game and OpenGL calls... no? I'd
assume WINE could execute a few OpenGL calls to "emulate" the results
(just return what the card is able to - or return a null value, zero,
something that'll just make the game -skip- it) instead of being just
a redirection (that'll be obviously, slower). I'm just throwing up
ideas here, I --know-- it's possible, just not --how--.
