The Glide SDK DLL itself depends on DDRAW.DLL, and nothing you or I do
will change that. Sorry. Do an objdump on the Glide SDK DLL and you'll
see.

I don't know how I have DDRAW.DLL on this NT machine that I use for
testing our own software, and don't even remember installing DirectDraw.
Perhaps some other software installed it.
