 This patch adds a threshold for the FF/Rew reposition feature.  The
 original feature, in case you are not familiar with it, makes it so after
 fast forwing or rewinding in sticky mode, that the current position is
 repositioned back based upon how fast the user is fast forwarding.  For
 example, if it is set to 1 second (the default), then when exiting fast
 forward in 3x, it will jump back 3 seconds, when exiting fast forward in
 10x, it will jump back 10 seconds, and so on.

 This patch, FF/Rew Reposition Threshold, makes it so that for slow
 FF/Rewind (below the threshold), no reposition jump takes place after
 leaving FF/Rew. The idea is that when fast forwarding slowly (like, say at
 3x), the jump back may not be needed at all, but when fast forwarding
 quickly (like at 10x) it is.  So by setting the threshold to 5, for
 example, any FF/Rew speed greater than or equal to 5X will trigger the
 reposition, but any FF/Rew speed less than 5X will not.

 For the naysayers who say that this feature is not needed, this is how the
 TiVo does it, albeit without allowing for configuration.  The slowest
 FF/Rew settings provide no reposition.  So all of us ex-TiVo users will
 probably agree that this feature is nice to have.  And it is set to
 default to 0, meaning that if repositioning is enabled, it is enabled for
 all speeds.

 I have mine set to 5, and I'm very happy with it.
