download --with-dxsdk fetches the DirectX SDK (June 2010) - the last standalone release of D3DX9/10/11, XInput and XAudio2, dropped from the Windows SDK entirely once D3DX was deprecated, but still needed by plenty of legacy code. Like the WDK, it isn't part of the VS installer manifest, so this is its own self-contained fetch+unpack path: the installer is a self-extracting CAB, unpacked directly via cabextract (already a prerequisite for the WinSDK .msi payloads) with its -F filter restricting extraction to just Include/ and Lib/ - about 21MB out of the installer's 1.2GB uncompressed payload. Verified against the real installer: real d3dx9.h and d3dx9.lib (x86 and x64) extracted correctly and linked into an actual legacy game client build.
