As above, after resizing the window and executing
'stty size', I see the new window size in the
output of 'stty' which is a cygwin program, so the
new window's line length is available to cygwin.

So, if the only issue is bash being *automatically*
notified of the window resize event - I'd be happy
with some manual process to tell bash of the new
line length, e.g., 'export COLUMNS=110' or something
similar.

So does this mean that currently there is not even
a manual process to reset line length?
Is 80 chars for shell lines hard-coded in the
cygwin port?
