Sorry, I didn't think some other package will use that function, it
looked like an internal subroutine.  I should have checked.

To answer your question: I see no reason to go back to character units
in this function.  We could either adapt the other packages to the
change, or add a new function that will work like the previous
image-next-line.  What would you prefer?  If the only problem is with
comparing against the value returned by window-vscroll, then perhaps
the former is easier and simpler?

Thanks.
