There is a patch in Trac that adds automatic letterbox detection if you're
not using XvMC.  I'm not sure what mode you're referring to in 0.20.  I have
the same setup (4:3 screen with HD content, sometimes letterboxed 4:3 inside
the 16:9 signal) and I always had to just set to Fill when I ran into that
content.  I don't recall anything that was more automatic than that but then
I may never have come across that particular setting.
