I don't think there's currently a way to extend the messages recognized
by a frame, but it's something we could add.

Beware that there's a bad interaction between PLT Scheme threads and
Windows: a Scheme-level thread swap cannot be allowed while handling a
Windows message. The solution is usually to handle a message by just
queuing a callback in the eventspace, and then return to Windows
immediately; that works when you don't need to compute any particular
return value for the message. Would that strategy work for the messages
that you need to handle (if you had a way to install a handler)?
