With an appropriate alist entry.  BTW the two 'get-buffer-window'
disjuncts below are leftovers from the old code IIRC.  IMO we should
drop them in the course of such a change.

	  (or (get-lru-window frame nil not-this-window)
	      (let ((window (get-buffer-window buffer 'visible)))
		(unless (and not-this-window
			     (eq window (selected-window)))
		  window))
	      (get-largest-window 'visible nil not-this-window)
	      (let ((window (get-buffer-window buffer 0)))
		(unless (and not-this-window
			     (eq window (selected-window)))
		  window))
	      (get-largest-window 0 nil not-this-window)))

Me neither.  Life is deterministic (if you know all the parameters).
