 Awful.  So what is the right way to fix it, then?

1. Use a predefined minor mode map. Then a user who does not want the binding
can put a new definition by changing this map. Something like that?

2. Otherwise use some 'vc-bind-obnoxious-keys' variable?

3. Your ;;;###autoload <stuff here>
isn't that bad either as it behaves just like vc-hooks.el was dumped
like it is in FSF Emacs.

4. Use
(substitute-key-definition 'toggle-read-only 'vc-toggle-read-only
global-map)
as that is what is really meant anyway.

 But then you're still overriding the user's explicit choice. 
Yes, but

a. Only for files where there is version control.
b. So what? The user should use 'C-c letter' for his bindings.
