I have googled and found nothing interesting. If you don't care to have a minibuffer in each frame, you can use a separate minibuffer frame (it acts as the minibuffer for all frames). You can position this standalone minibuffer frame wherever you want. (I have it at the bottom of my display, extended it for the full display width.) As an example, see http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/oneonone.el (description is here: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/OneOnOneEmacs). See, for instance, option `1on1-minibuffer-frame-top/bottom': Position of top (or bottom) of minibuffer frame, in pixels. If nil, function `1on1-set-minibuffer-frame-top/bottom' will position minibuffer at bottom of display. An integer. If negative, then the position is that of the frame bottom relative to the screen bottom. Otherwise, without a standalone minibuffer frame, I don't believe there is a way to place the minibuffer at the top of each frame.
