I'm trying to make the filter's cutoff frequency independant of the 
image size. But that's not so easy because I don't know the size of the 
FFT array. It's calculated in vf_fftfilt.c lines 185 and 297.
This calculation is difficult (and slow) to replicate in an expression, 
because either a loop or a logarithm is required.
Would it be possible to add two new variables so that the FFT array size 
can be used in an expression?
ARRAY_H = 1 << rdft_hbits
ARRAY_V = 1 << rdft_vbits
It the array size is known, things would become much easier.

Thanks,
Michael
