bug#18435: 24.3.93; frame-resize-pixelwise non-functional on OSX

[David Reitter]

(setq frame-resize-pixelwise t)

According to the NEWS file, this should allow for pixelwise resizing of
any frame.  After setting the above variable, I tried resizing a frame
with the mouse, but it still resizes in full char increments, both while
actually holding the mouse button and moving the mouse, and consequently
after releasing the button.

I tried this is newly created frames as well, with the same result
