`find-library' isn't bound to any key, but I think it probably should
be.  `C-x 4 l' seems like as good a keystroke as any.  Any thought from
other people?  I use the command quite a lot...

The command now uses pop-to-buffer-same-window, which is quite
customisable, as I understand things.  (I haven't looked into the
new-fangled window popping controlling functions.)  So I think this
should be customisable ... somehow ... by the users now.
