bug#13594: 24.2.92; [PATCH] compilation-start doesn't consider nil OUTWIN

Problem is that the functions in display-buffer-alist are supposed to
return either the window they used or nil (to mean that display-buffer
should try the next candidate function).

So returning t is incorrect and can/will lead to bugs further down where
the caller does not expect a t value (most callers of display-buffer
don't expect a nil return value either).
