Err… Doesn't that mean that 1. multiple copies with different versions/variations of some builtin library have to be configured for different paths at compiletime, and 2. user can't install some library for himself (by default) without root access?

As far as I understand, wrapping d3d8.dll calls original d3d8.dll, so it doesn't matter what interface to video driver underlaying one uses.
Which means it should be theoretically possible…
E.g. wrapping native library isn't the d3d8.dll from windows distribution, but rather (opensourced) wrapper for modifying one specific game ( http://morrgraphext.wiki.sourceforge.net/Technical+Information )
