NOTE:  The fact that Tux moves differently when jumping was coded in
on purpose!

If he jumps to the left, if you suddenly decided to move right (backwards)
while jumping, he won't move right nearly as fast as he was moving to the
left.  He also won't turn to FACE the right until he lands.

This is a gameplay style specifically borrowed from Super Mario Bros.

Sorry if it affects the backwards-scrolling code... of course, that's only
in there for debugging, anyway.  It's not supposed to scroll backward to
begin with. :^)
