Currently fvwm can resize windows using units defined by the client application. But for some reason those units can't be used when defining a minimum or maximum window size.

Quote from the man page:

Resize [[frame] [directiondir] [warptoborderautomatic] [fixeddirection] [w]width[p|c|wa|da] [w]height[p|c]]
Allows for resizing a window. If called from somewhere in a window or its border, then that window is resized. If called from the root window then the user is allowed to select the target window.

The operation can be aborted with Escape or by pressing any mouse button (except button 1 which confirms it).

If the optional arguments width and height are provided, then the window is resized so that its dimensions are width by height. The units of width and height are percent-of-screen, unless a letter 'p' is appended to one or both coordinates, in which case the location is specified in pixels. With a 'c' suffix the unit defined by the client application (hence the c) is used. With the suffix 'wa' the value is a percentage of the width or height size of the EWMH working area, and with the suffix 'da' it is a percentage of the width or height of the EWMH dynamic working area. So you can say
Resize 80c 24c
to make a terminal window just big enough for 80x24 characters.

What I would like is to be able to say:
Style "termite" MinWindowSize 80c 24c
But that is not currently supported, you can only use percentage of screen size or pixels. If i could use the 'c' suffix it would be really sweet, especially when some shells freak out and flood the terminal with warning messages about "unreasonable" terminal sizes

Allow Min/Max WindowSize style to use client size
fece9df 
Adds the option to the MinWindowSize and MaxWindowSize style to state the
size in terms of the clients size increment hints by using the suffix 'c'.
For example to give xterm minimum size to be 80x24 use.

Style xterm MinWindowSize 80c 24c

Note, the MinWindowSize and MaxWindowSize includes the window borders and
title bar, so the actual window size maybe smaller than specified depending
on border and/or title size.

Fixes #145
