Description Cameron Gutman 2021-01-02 20:53:26 UTC 
I build SDL with USE_D3D9EX defined to avoid having my renderer state reset each time the user hits a UAC prompt. It would be nice to expose this as a hint that can be set at runtime rather than requiring those that want D3D9Ex to recompile SDL themselves.

I have added a new SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_USE_D3D9EX hint to do this.
