Released stardust.c v1.3 with improved Costas loop carrier recovery for low-SNR vinyl rips.

Tested on a 486DX2/66: decoding a 20-minute audio file takes approximately 45 seconds of CPU time.
The original stardust.c v1.0 dropped sync whenever there was a scratch or surface pop on the record.

Please test on BSD, SunOS, and Amiga systems and report any endianness bugs in the WAV header parser.

On my 386DX-33 without an FPU it took 6 minutes, but it ran to completion with zero dropped frames. Great work!
