I prefer restricting sublib names to those letters. There's no real
reson to use any other characters anyway, and the fewer we allow
the more compatible with different filesystems we get.

AFAIK it never worked, due to exactly those hints.

Application-requested resize is useless, as it is the same as a
SetMode. What we should provide functionality for in LibWMH to allow
user-resizing of the window, ie remove the size hints and send gii-resize
when the window changes size. I believe normal size-changing by users
is the last feature missing to be a complete and better alternative
to writing native X-programs.
