In the d1x.ini file there are a bunch of settings including switches for 16x9 and 16x10 aspect ratios, certainly not as extensive as the options for XL, but good enough for me :-)

I am interested to see your screen shots, since here are some of my own. The resolution was reduced for more convenient viewing.

I don't think Rebirth stretches the actual game itself, just the cockpit, but I don't play with that anyway. I tried with and without the 16x10 switch at 1680x1050 and with the switch, everything seemed to be displayed correctly. Long live Descent! :-)

There are currently active projects for running both Descent and Descent II on modern machines and operating systems. I use Rebirth since I am mostly interested in the classic experience:

The other great thing about rebirth is that it also supports 16x10 and 16x9 ...
