Since nobody has submitted anything elegant here's my approach; use in
anyway that you wish but don't hold me liable for the results.
 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <psio.h>
 
/* 
 * magic number from NeWS/glwin.ps
 */
#define MEX_SYNC_TAG 777
 
/* 
 * toggle the iconified state of a GL window
 */
void flipiconic (int wid)
{
    extern PSFILE *PostScript;
    extern int gl_ps_check_sync (void);
 
    psio_fprintf (PostScript, "/flipiconic %d gfsend %d tagprint\n",
                  wid, MEX_SYNC_TAG);
    gl_ps_check_sync ();
}
