Because of this demo I added a compile-time option to VICE (r43618) that
allows you to delay the vertical blank interrupt a bit. For this demo,
16 seems to work well: when running the "real iron, non emulator"
version, the starshine at the end looks ok, or at least it doesn't have
the extra horizontal lines to its left that it had before.

The option is by default off because it adds overhead that is totally
unneeded in 99,9999% of the cases.
