Bug fix #7: Correct a possible issue in VSync

- I realized I might have fundamentally misunderstood VSync. This commit
  tries to fix the possible problem, or at least move the tearing line
  close to the top of the screen.

- Software VSync is replaced by --sw-opti (software optimization), as
  I guess it isn't possible at all to do VSync without driver support.

- Add "vsync" and "sw-opti" as configuration file options.
