mintty: WINCH-signal to child

When I run for example an editor from a shell in a mintty-window and  
change the window-size the editor is informed by a WINCH-signal. That is  
good. But the shell it was started from does not know about the change, so  
after exiting the editor the shell uses the old size. Could mintty send a  
WINCH-signal to its direct child (-pgrp) perhaps?

Of course for more complicated situations it could be difficult to inform  
all involved processes when not all have the same pgrp, but it would be  
better than nothing.

Or do I miss something?
