There's a shortage on Windows developers at the moment... I'm sure anything
you do will be better than whatever I could hack together, for instance.

You can go a long way just by looking how the current DirectX driver is set
up and looking at the GFX_DRIVER and GFX_VTABLE structures. Most of the
entries there are reasonably self explanatory, although some documentation
would be a good thing in any case. Maybe that's something to look into
while rewriting and updating the libraries internals for 4.3? Or should we
try to get it done for 4.2?
