There may be problems with mirroring display drivers but as long as nobody 
complains I'll stick with it.

Works great. I've done some small changes
 - store global variables in a struct which is allocated locally and pass
   the pointer to it through dwparam
 - moved the monitorNum counter to the struct too. If getMonitorInfo gets 
   called twice (like with two -screen arguments) the count did not start
   at 1 again
 - fixed a problem with @m argument and following arguments (@m was expected 
   to be the last argument on the commandline)
 - @m format should not set userGaveWidthAndHeight to allow adjusting the 
   area with border sizes.

But great work anyway.

I've commited it. If you have bigger patches or want to work on larger
changes I can try to get you cvs write access to freedesktop.org.
