Does not allow exact resize like the apps you describe but it does what I needed to do (resize an app window that normally does not allow a resize, namely the flawed Hulu Desktop). http://mindflow.dk/software/windowwrangler/ I found a pretty good alternative to this for free on the mac.

In the MercuryMover preference pane, click on the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab and then click the plus button to add a new shortcut. From here you can specify the window's height and width (and optionally, its position on the screen). When you create a shortcut, you give it a key on the keyboard. Once you bring up MercuryMover, hitting that key will size/position that window according to your settings. Ironically, i have a <a>screencast</a> which demonstrates how this works.
