  I tried to follow the same way `describe-variable' do this,
and adapt it to `describe-face'.

  The difficult point is that `find-func' library doesn't handle
symbols but functions and variables.  So I defined there a new
variable, `find-face-regexp', and a new function,
`find-face-noselect'.

  `find-face-noselect' is a copy of `find-variable-noselect', with:

    (let ((library (or file (symbol-file variable 'defvar))))
      (find-function-search-for-symbol variable 'variable library)))

replaced by (locally binding `find-variable-regexp'):

    (let ((library (or file (symbol-file face 'defface)))
          (find-variable-regexp find-face-regexp))
      (find-function-search-for-symbol face 'variable library)))

  But I think `find-func' library should be fixed to handle arbitrary
kind of symbol (or at least other standard things than functions and
variables).

  Follow the patches, generated individualy by "diff -c".  It's
important to point out that I didn't test it so much, because I can't
install a more recent CVS version than :

    (emacs-version)
       ==> "GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i386-mingw-windows98.3000)
            of 2004-12-23 on FARIBA"

  To resume the changes:

    - cus-face.el: `custom-declare-face' adds face to
      `current-load-list'

    - faces.el: `describe-face' adds the string "Defined in ...", with
      the ad-hoc button to go to the face definition

    - help-mode.el: define the button type `help-face-def'

    - emacs-lisp/find-func.el: new variable `find-face-regexp', new
      function `find-face-noselect', and a minor docstring fix in
      `find-variable-noselect'
