By experiment, the minibuffer is not included, which is why it loops
forever if you force it to start there. Does the order matter? Anyway,
it's the order that `next-window' gives.
`loop' can probably be improved, but I suggest using `walk-windows'
(which has well-defined, flexible behaviour wrt the minibuffer)
instead and will add a note to cl.texi to this effect.
