Create an additional parameter to the Fl_Tile constructor and modify
functionality to establish a minimum size for tiles. Default could be
twice the width of a DOWN_FRAME border (plus perhaps a pixel or two).

The behavior I would like is for each box in the tile to have some minimum
size. Currently, when I drag the border to one side or the other, one or
more tiles completely disappears. If the user is unfamiliar with the
layout, there is absolutely no visible cue that there is a hidden tile
lurking against one edge or corner of the drawn border. The poor user has
to randomly try to drag borders until the hidden tile appears. 

With the requested change, a minimal tile would still be visible as a
double border on one edge or a small square a corner.

Fl_Tile has no function to set a minimum tile size. However, I strongly 
believe that there should be one for exactly the reason you state. Using
DOWN_FRAMEs for the tiles give a nice visible and draggable border, so
defaulting the minimal tile size to twice the width of the border would
keep the visual cue and would make it possible to reconstruct all tiles.
