FWIW, I wrapped cards.dll years ago (looks like I started in 1999 and last
touched it in 2002) but didn't bother submitting it because it was so trivial
and figured that anyone else that was interested could and would do a better
job for their own purposes anyway.  Besides that, I never release my stuff 
like I should.

I even had animation working on Win9x but since animation got scrapped with
XP, I also scrapped it (the functions are still there but they do nothing 
because the card-backs are different).  The problem with cards.dll for 
Windows is that it basically only draws cards and card-backs.  That's it, 
nothing else.  I added some dealer.e stuff but wasn't satisfied before I 
got bored with it.

I'll look at it again, clean it up some and submit it unless someone else
beats me to it.  Like I said, wrapping cards.dll is trivial.  Enhancing 
it to be useful is where the work is.

I also did some work with an *old* lib called qcard32.dll (google it).  It
has more functionality (than the windows version) that I tried to emulate 
before I got bored.
