setProps does not update inline styles

[zbyte64]

Settings props on a component does not update style attributes.

In the following JSfiddle example clicking the link updates two props, height & name. We see that name is updated in the DOM but minHeight remains the same.

This is really about: #932

Didn't understand the last comment: the jsfiddle is using camelCased. Tried with "min-height" and still does not update when clicking.

@zbyte64 Minor nit-pick, I think the preferred way of updating props is by calling React.renderComponent again on the same node.

Checked with @spicyj, it is the preferred way.

@zbyte64 replacing 'setProps' with 'setState' makes it work.

Please don't call setState from outside your component. While it's currently possible, that really should be a private method. state is internal, props are external.

In this case height is controlled by state, which gets its initial value from props. The more correct solution would be to just use props, but specify getDefaultProps which returns height=20.
