/* Combine displacement and bump mapping, with units relative to 
 * a particular space.  When truedisp != 0, this function modifies
 * P as a side effect.
 *
 * Inputs:
 *    dir       direction in which to push the surface, assumed to
 *                 already be in "current" space and normalized.
 *    amp       amplitude of the actual displacement or bumping.
 *    space     the name of the coordinate system against which the
 *                 amplitude is measured.
 *    truedisp  when 1, truly displace; when 0, just bump.
 * Return value: the normal of the displaced and bumped surface,
 *                in "current" space, normalized.
