Yes, you should be able to do the same thing that "stty -a" does.
See "man tty_ioctl" and look for the "Get and Set Window Size" section.  
Note that this is nonportable, so the code should really be inside an
"#if HAVE_TIOCGWINSZ" and the configure script should check for it.

That man page also mentions how to tell when the size changes: catch
the SIGWINCH signal.
