The attached patch runs ‘window-size-change-functions’ for any call of
‘read-from-minibuffer’ that changes the size of the minibuffer window
either via the prompt or user input.  I have no idea whether it handles
all possible cases nor whether it might baldy interact with the part
that traces messages resizing the echo area.

Also, saving match data around the ‘window-size-change-functions’ calls
and not saving current buffer and selected window constitutes a gross
inconsistency IMHO.  So I'd rather prefer to close my eyes to this part
of the code, if possible.
