I'm guessing they originally wrote it towards DX10, and when they got 
close, found that MS had screwed all their deadlines and release plans. 
So they all jumped in and pounded away to add DX9 support at the last 
minute.  And I'm guessing the lack of configuration is either an 
oversight or it's because it's on a different part of the game by a 
different group or something who didn't have time to fix it, maybe.

Maybe, in other words, they're waiting until the actual release of the 
game to decide whether to let DX9 do the highest rez stuff, depending on 
how fast MS gets their act together with Vista.
