DirectX7 SDK and the one linked to on the Allegro page?

basically nothing. except a todo.txt file in include/src/.
the idea is that we ought to have patches against original microsoft header files, so that it will be easier for someone in the future to examine the patch and contribute a directx 9 sdk. besides... the patch might become *neccessary*. microsoft is in their rights, if they want to, to deny us to redistribute modified source code IIRC, read the SDK license about redistribution. with a patch you will avoid any legal issues.
