[simpits-tech] Falcon multiple monitor support workaround

[Marv De Beque]

Taking Gene's observation one step further would be to project the image
onto a mirror first (or a set of mirrors) and move the mirror to change the
position of the projection.

The mirror will have lower mass and less shake.  Also, the projector bulb
will have a higher lifespan if kept stationary.
