Maybe there could be a vector of numbers whose ratios would be used to
size the remaining windows.  Setting the numbers equal would result in
equal size windows, etc.  When N windows are visible, look at the
first N entries, etc.

Or maybe a vector of vectors...

This would be easy to prototype by redefinition of (delete-window).
