Dont forget that the vertical also needs to be scaled so your routine gets
to be quite a bit more complicated. Not sure if some kind of a lookup table
might do the trick. Divide the screen into zones and assign each zone a pair
of strech values. You would need to limit the number of pixels per zone to
keep it from becoming visible as a pattern.
