I'm partial to main_* since when I think of ref_* that makes me think
of the input being used "as basis" (in the words of the documentation)
or reference. Any thoughts on creating shorthand variables? I don't
see a particular need for them but it would put these new variables in
line with the others. mw for main_w, mh for main_h. Potentially ma for
main_a. I don't have a strong feeling on it one way or another.

This is my first patch set to FFmpeg (huzzah!) so I have a few quick
questions before continuing. What is the preferred way to revise a
patch? From my understanding git send-email is only useful for the
initial patch. Unless revised patches should be new threads? Or should
I just reply to this thread with attachments from git format-patch?
Although now that I'm looking at it, git send-email has an
--in-reply-to option that could potentially do the trick of submitting
the revised patch. This mailing list patch submission workflow is new
to me so I appreciate any guidance.

Thanks,
Kevin
