*If* things are currently changing, why not renaming files in the
same moment (sorry for being naive)?
E.g.,

#include <grass_display.h>

It would be now a rather easy search-replace job. Since we are
in 6.1 a.k.a. experimental, we can do it. Better to do it now that
waiting unless more applications link to GRASS directly.
