I think pursuing the window-configuration-change-hook path is actually
a good idea: if we can get the desired behavior via Elisp code, it's
generally preferable (the C code is hairy enough as it is). It also
makes it easier to offer configurability (e.g. to choose whether to
center the visible text in the window, or not).
