Hm, couldn't one get the value from the Lisp level?

One could probably use the
  if (!hprevinst)
test in w32_createwindow in order to decide if it's the first frame to
be created, but how can one decide if there are values for `top' and
`left' which are only relevant for the first frame?  That's where
`initial-frame-alist' would really come in handy.  I guess I'll need a
little bit more time for this.
