curt 9c0c54ef6c Implimented a simple frame rate throttle.
Normally for smoothest frame rates you would configure to sync
to your monitor's vertical refresh signal.  This is card/platform
dependent ... for instance with Linux/Nvidia there is
an environment variable you can set to enable this feature.

However, if your monitor is refreshing at 60hz and you can't quite sustain
that with flightgear, you can get smoother frame rates by artificially
throttling yourself to 30hz.  Note that once you are about about 24fps, it
is *change* or inconsistancy in frame rate that leads to percieved jerkiness.

You want to do whole divisors of your monitor refresh rate, so if your
display is syncing at 75 hz, you might want to try throttling to 25 hz.
