A long time ago, Lennart proposed to integrate a library implementing an
easy way for resizing windows.  See email <47BF64AF.1000105@gmail.com>
on [emacs-devel] to jump back into this discussion.

I attach the last version I'm aware of (0.96) of Lennart's windsize.el
-- maybe this is not the latest version, Lennart can you confirm?

As I had a slightly different approach and I coded windresize.el:

Maybe one of these libraries could be part of Emacs at some point.

You might also want to have a look at register-list.el, which let the 
user get a list of the registers, delete and edit them:
