Well, I went the other way: I added the appropriate DirectX a/vouts as 
builtins to configure.ac and re-bootstraped, and it all seemed to work. 
  (i.e. I added VLC_ADD_BUILTINS([vout_directx aout_directx ...] to 
configure.ac).  The only problem with that approach is that there's a 
symbol clash between vout_directx and the the DirectX OpenGL vout 
module (glwin32, I think?), so I couldn't compile them both as 
builtins.

Well, I actually got the embeddable video window working now!  I 
compiled both the wxwindows and vout_directx modules as builtins, and 
that seemed to do the trick.  (Not sure if I need wxwindows as a 
built-in; I'll experiment more a bit later when I'll try to reduce the 
size of the resulting .dll).

Yep, I'm tracking the svn trunk since I noticed that patch went in 
after 0.8.1.

Thanks for the help Gildas!
