Well it's hard to make more explicit without parsing HRESULT vals (and
there's no point in doing this).
I can convert to msg_Dbg() but I thought msg_Err() would make more sense
because it's a complete fail?
Please advise...

It goes to 'error:' which cleans up and returns VLC_EGENERIC
But I notice that I'm not handling a failure of D2D_CreateRenderTarget() at
all. This I'll fix.
