In fact, I wonder if we could have 2 sections : STF/STE and Falcon/TT

In Falcon/TT, let's have "keep resolution" and "max zoomed win"

In STF/STE, I think it would be better to have
  - displayed pixels in left/right/top/bottom border
  - double X or double Y for low res
  - double Y for med res
(this is similar to what Steem does and I find it easier to understand 
that current "max zoomed win" that includes both the zoom factor and the 
border size.


eg:

-----------------------------------------------
STF/STE
[] Double X on low res  [] Double Y on low res
[] Double Y on med res
displayed pixels in borders
       xx left xx right
       xx top  xx bottom
-----------------------------------------------
Falcon/TT
[] Keep desktop resolution
Max zoomed win    <- xxx ->
                 x <- xxx ->
-----------------------------------------------


In STF/STE, I want to add support soon for non-multiple of 16 pixels in 
borders ; this would allow to better mimic the behaviour seen in 
overscan line during the hi/lo res switches (this will require some 
changes in convert/*c functions)

In order to get the same results as a real ST (if the user wants to), I 
think we should have separate settings for left/right border and 
top/bottom border (on a real ST, the displayed area is not necessarily 
centered, so these values could be different).

Code is not ready on my side yet, but I will add such support soon in 
video.c / screen.c to really fine tune the first/last 16 pixels of each 
overscan line, so If you're ready to refactor the panel, maybe it could 
be good to include those concepts now.
