I need to get through a backlog of other things before I look too closely at this. However, I'd like others' opinions on the usefulness of the option. My initial impression is that it's not generally useful (i.e., if you need context then don't <skip-quoted>) but I'd appreciate others take.

Just glancing quickly, please watch the coding style.  e.g.
  while (test)
  {
  }
not
  while (test){
  }

+         while (!err && SkipQuotedContext > 0

It looks like the patch disables <skip-quoted> if $skip_quoted_context is left at 0?

+         if (new_topline - context < 0)
+                 context += new_topline - context;

Could that just be:
  if (context > new_topline)
    context = new_topline;

Lastly, I'd prefer the config var have "pager_" in front to give it context. (Pun intended). e.e. $pager_skip_quoted_context.
