Ken, Richard, Christoph,

Sorry, but I just reverted the patch to xdisp.c and made a different
patch to term.c.  So Christoph, I would appreciate if you could test
compilation on HP-UX again.

The reason for reverting the changes is that changing the names
as suggested by Richard made the code in xdisp.c harder to read and
understand.
  Since the "append_" and "produce_" prefixes are each shared by several
related functions in xdisp.c, changing the name of just one of the
functions from each group makes the code harder to understand; if
those two functions are named differently from the rest of the pack,
it is harder to see the relationship.
