I think there's no easy way to do that right now.  The Emacs Code
Browser (ECB) for example also creates some 3- or 4-pane layout for
creating something many users expect from a IDE, that is some window
with a project tree-view, one window for the actual source file, and
some status/compilation window.  But AFAIK, it does so by advicing most
if not all functions that modify window configurations...

You may want to look at the sr-speedbar.el package, which also provides
one single, dedicated window with additional, context-specific
information.
