I presume you realize that if it supports more than one size of "tty
window" (i.e., window in which you can run a program that wants to talk
to a "dumb" terminal), it should allow such a function.

I think future S5 releases will have TIOCGWINSZ, 4.3BSD-style; you
should probably consider supporting both.
