Hmm, check out the name of this bug, from known issues:

Bug 4464 - d3dx9_*.dll are unimplemented - redistributable dll, use native version (builtin replacement is a work in progress) Closed Wontfix 
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4464

Closed Wontfix.  Bug topic seems in the same spirit as what I'm thinking about, yet the thread under this bug is practically all out war.  Any advice?  For this exact case I'm just getting 'unimplemented function d3dx9_36.dll.D3DXCreateTextureFromFileW'.
