Hm, w32_createwindow would have to know these values.  But the only
object explicitely passed to the function is the frame.  The frame
struct contains top_pos and left_pos but we don't know when we can use
them.

Does anybody know if there is another variable where the (top and
left) values given to `make-frame' are stored and which could be used
by w32_createwindow to look them up?
