The dimensions of a window's content area can be reduced to 0 (that's
part of WinFlate's deflation process).  However, TaskMaster will only
let a user shrink a window to a default minimum size when it calls
GrowWindow.

Instead of letting TaskMaster call GrowWindow for you, set the tmGrow
bit in your taskMask to 0 and call GrowWindow yourself when TaskMaster
returns the wInGrow code.  GrowWindow lets you pass a minimum width and
height for your window as a paramater.
