	One of the advantages posting questions on the weekend
	is that that you get a chance to answer them yourself before
	too many people see them on Monday.

	Yes, I have the answer to my own question.  Just trap
	WM_GETMINMAXINFO and set the min tracking width.  So
	if I want to allow the window to be made narrower, but
	no larger than 20:
		case WM_GETMINMAXINFO:	{
					MINMAXINFO *mmi;
					lparam=(MINMAXINFO *)lparam;
					mmi->ptMinTrackSize.x=20;
					}
					break;
