I just guess you know about the set origin and restore origin commands 

or "window zoom -2" to scramble all objects on top of each other and 
zoom it to one pixel...

seriously, isn't it easier to just drag the window to your prefered size 
than programming a message?
I just guess you know about the set origin and restore origin commands 
in the View menu....

It seems a bit ridiculous to drag a window into that state. This 

operation is one click down, one click up. Standard fare.

Here's the best definition I could find:

Has someone found a nice way to minimize a window since then?

(something that would work for both osx and windows)

A mac only way is to use applescript via the [shell] external. This message will do it, although I think you do also need to enable access for assistive devices in the universal access tab of system preferences if it isn't already.

osascript -e 'tell application "System Events"' -e 'click menu item "Minimize" of menu "Window" of menu bar item "Window" of menu bar "1" of application process "MaxMSP"' -e 'end tell'
