Yeah, it would require a significant amount of work on the wined3d
side as well, which is part of the reason we'd like to make sure that
work can't be avoided.

I think for a part that's because I prefer sending patches when time
allows. E.g. around 2010-2011 I sent a couple of patches, mostly for
making the Wine tests pass on r600c and later r600g. These days the
amount of time I can spend on Mesa is more limited, but at least r600g
generally works pretty well for me. I know Stefan regularly runs tests
on r300g and r600g and sends bug reports when something breaks.

It's already on our (unfortunately fairly large) todo-list.
