[openbox] Make MoveResizeTo accept relative width and height

Hi,

As lots of Openbox-users use MoveResizeTo for some basic tiling (which is quite nice and sometimes easier than the strict layout of a real tiling wm), I just wondered if one of the developers considered the possibility to extend MoveResizeTo to also accept relative inputs. Firstly, this would spare us the work of calculating the appropriate pixel sizes. Sencondly, and much more importantly, one rc.xml would work for different display sizes.
There was a bug report/feature request a long time ago: http://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3769
So, to repeat the author's question (I could not find anything in the mailing list, so I'll just ask for him and me): What do you think? It should not be too much work and possibly would be quite a nice improvement for some of us.
