can you please add d8vk?

hello everyone,

d8vk is a fork of dxvk, with a focus on directx8 and directx9.

It offers d3d8.dll and d3d9.dll, and is certainly very helpfull for anyone stuck with low performance of d3d8 on modern hardware drivers.

this is the homepage: https://github.com/AlpyneDreams/d8vk

and this is the release page: https://github.com/AlpyneDreams/d8vk/releases

current release is 0.10

I did a quick copy and paste of the dxvk-2.0 code, only thing I don't understand is the helper_dxvk line. And I don't know the real name of the person who publishes this.

helper_dxvk() is used to validate the needed Wine/Vulkan API versions. It looks like d8vk needs similar? https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/wiki/Driver-support

I'd suggest looking at extending helper_dxvk() to also allow overriding d3d8 for d8vk.

I don't think anyone was looking at this yet? If not, I poked around and got an implementation working and hope to get a PR out soon for review :-)
