A few lines.  Apparently my commit has broken the old
behavior :/ but I have a fix already handy.

Your are right, bbdb-one-line-display-* is much better than
*elided*, at least in my eyes.  o.k. so how about renaming
the other variables to bbdb-multi-line-display-*?
So how about the following variables which have more
self-explanatory names (the old varnames in parenthesis)

bbdb-default-display-mode (bbdb-elided-display)
        either one-line, multi-line or 'full
bbdb-pop-up-default-display-mode (bbdb-pop-up-elided-display)
        either one-line, multi-line or 'full
bbdb-one-line-display-fields (bbdb-elided-display-fields)
        list of fields which should be displayed in one-line display
bbdb-one-line-display-name-end (bbdb-elided-display-name-end)
        column where name and company should end in one-line display
bbdb-multi-line-display-fields (bbdb-display-fields-order)
        list of fields displayed in multi-line display.
bbdb-multi-line-display-omit-fields (bbdb-display-omit-fields)
        list of fields omitted from multi-line display.

How about theses warnings of name/functionality changes
should they go into the code (warn/compile) or the
documentation?
        
Ciao
