Oops, I forgot all about that.

Unfortunately, it has to be done via GetProcAddress because the DLL
containing DirectDrawCreate may not exist on a machine, which would cause
XWin.exe not to run at all, rather than for it to run with the GDI engine.

I basically implemented the process described in the MSDN Library and
Platform SDK about how to check that DirectDraw is present.  I'm not sure
that there is any other way to do this.
