[sdiy] PLL Detuner

Harry mentioned that the LFO and VCO not being synchronized would foul
things up.  Apparently, I knew that when I did this:

It's not tested, just an idea, but I think the circuit will synch the LFO
output to PLL input by using the higher frequency input as a "clock".  In
this case, the LFo causes pulses to be dropped from the input to the PLL
which should cause the output to be somewhat lower in frequency than the input.

Sorry, I did this a few years ago and didn't remember all of the details. 
As I said, I didn't test it and I'm not sure how useful it is, especially
compared to a simple VCO.
