Not really. I want any input to skip the cutscene - i.e. so players
can hit space (the biggest key on the keyboard, so easiest to hit) to
skip it - by default anyway. We'll probably allow the users to tweak
the ffplay invocation command via an .ini file, if they wish, though.

Hmm, I would have thought the refactoring would be welcome - since it
makes the code cleaner (the current input loop code is too giant of a
function, imho). Seems the current policy would lead towards bad code
lingering, since there will be less incentive to clean up code if it
has to be done separately.

For instance, I don't really care so much about this specific code
being cleaner - but I thought I'd do a favor to fix it up while I'm
here. Clearly this is not welcome (in the way I did it), so I'd
probably settle for just the simple patch that keeps the function huge
as it is now, and not bother with the cleanup patch after.

So then any cleanup would be left to the actual maintainers - which I
suppose gives you control on what clean up takes place, but seems like
a result of more work for the maintainers.

Sorry for the rant. Please don't consider it when deciding the
usefulness of this patch. Thanks.

Updated patch is attached.
