Thanks for the patch Henrik. I've wanted to implement something like
this for some time. I'm almost done finals so I hope to have a bit of
time this month to work on integrating the mass of patches that have
been sent to this list.

The prefix argument could be useful. But apart from these resizing
commands is there anything they'd be used for? I am thinking that an
interactive frame resize would be a better way to go. Then you can use
<insert your favorite movement keystrokes> to resize the frame to the
desired size. And then for command-line operation, the command could
take a numeric argument or a +N -N style argument so the frame could
be effectively resized in scripts.

Thoughts?
