Since I'm the one that suggested this:

1.  Check the changelog that comes with each release (in the ANNOUNCE 
file).

2.  If there is a fix for DirectX10 functionality, run your programs.  
If something that worked, doesn't file a regression bug and expect to be 
asked to do a regression test.

3.  If the new function does NOT work, advise the developers on the 
wine-devel list that the function does not work in program XYZ.  There 
may be more that needs to be done.  Again, expect to be asked to file a 
bug report with an ATTACHED terminal log file.

4.  This should be one of the criteria for Wine 1.4.  Making 
productivity programs and games work well is one of this project's goals....
