the latest directx sdk (aug 2009) is 500+MB
isnt 7z able to extract .exe files?
i dont think running the exe in wine is the way to go

we could use the dx9 devpack then instead.
maybe we should have 2 directx packages
one for the full thing and one for the 3 missing header files only
since there are more people cross compiling an SDL app on
linux than a directx app
do we have conflicts and provides for packages yet?
directx-sdk would provide sdl-directx
and sdl-directx would conflict with directx-sdk

imo that would be a good compromise
