Errr... I would have thought MinGW development is
focused on being able to use the gcc compiler
effectively in a Win32 environment and that means
supporting the most important APIs one of which is
DirectX.  Not that I'm a fan of DirectX (I find it
quite painful actually), but MinGW is starting to
become a *REAL* alternative to commercial Windoze
compilers.

Also, afaik, DirectX 8 is now available for all the
incarnations of Windows on the desktop (except the
'deprecated' ones of course).
