Why don't you quit the *Occur* buffer window first and do a simple
`pop-to-buffer' afterwards?  In any case I think that the "kill the
*Occur* buffer" effect should be achieved with some sort of prefix.

BTW, I find bindings like

     (define-key map "\C-c\C-c" 'occur-mode-goto-occurrence)
     (define-key map "\C-m" 'occur-mode-goto-occurrence)
     (define-key map "o" 'occur-mode-goto-occurrence-other-window)

very confusing.

I think `display-buffer-at-bottom' would suit better.  But this needs
some way to say bottom-left, bottom-center, bottom-right.  I'm not yet
sure how to do that best.

I installed that now.
