Some people could live with it...

I _thought_ I fixed the issues:
I didn't know how to find terminating whitespace.
I simply missed - imo - two cases of wrong indentation (in >800 lines).

I did not use ispell because I didn't knew it (probably because I read the
patch guidelines not carefully enough).

I tried to make all, I did mention that I did not fix pan&scan between two
rounds.

I did not have trouble, I simply missed some occurrences.
Apart from that, I did not fix one (not so small) case of code-duplication,
and asked for help: I think I will not be able to fix that (fast).

I - very slightly - disagree, and I'd like to add that I addressed exactly
"as many cosmetic issues as" I could. (I agree that these were not enough
though.)
And that is exactly what I did for the first round of the FFmpeg VDPAU patches!
