Iterate over the results of get-buffer-window-list and see if any of
the windows' frames are visible.

I think stuff like this may give weird results if you're using
multi-tty.  E.g., code like this could say that something is "visible"
but you might be using a terminal frame and not be able to physically
see the X frame where the buffer is displayed.  I'm not sure what to
do about this.
