If you have specific concerns, I would be interested in hearing them.
There were definitely some cases where the code is ugly, largely due
to limitations of the VLC framework and pre-existing code.

This doesn't surprise me.  I definitely would have preferred to avoid
changing the Freetype module at all, but it was unfortunately
necessary in order to do proper layout of the captions (as well as
introducing the black background behind the text).

Yup, my focus was on delivering functional patches, and I hadn't yet
taken a pass over the patches to address codingstyle issue.

Thanks for the feedback,
