You can calculate the frame size by reading the stack pointer, calling
unw_step(), reading the stack pointer again and taking the difference.
Of course, you'll need to know which direction the stack grows and, in
case of IA-64, you'll also need to consider the register backing
store.

Why do you want this?  I'm curious, because I have been considering to
add an "is_inner" function, which would return TRUE if a cursor is
more deeply nested than another (you could then "!(is_inner(a, b) ||
is_inner(b, a))" as a frame-equality test).
