Incorrect behaviour

Documentation states that DirectX SDK must be downloaded (and also misspells "DirectX SDK" as "DirectX SDL").

Expected behaviour

Since only very old versions of Visual Studio / Windows SDK require that the DirectX SDK is downloaded separately, the documentation should (at least assume?) the DirectX SDK is already installed -- possibly providing a note about old SDK behavior).

Steps to reproduce

  1. View the MAME documentation, available on the web here: https://docs.mamedev.org/initialsetup/compilingmame.html#issues-affecting-microsoft-visual-studio
  2. Observe the 2nd bullet-point's typo and outdated SDK information.
