OOI, now that Windows 10 new console SEEMS to support colour, how can we get the dimensions of the terminal using ANSI from a non-C environment (think PHP/Perl/Python/etc.).

From my VERY VERY old memory ...

Remember the current position.
Set the position to some silly high x,y
Get the current position.
Reset to the first position.

Or is there an easier way?

Other languages typically provide a way to access the Windows API directly, so with a bit of mucking about you could call GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo and get the dimensions that way. Not exactly easier, but more direct. It seems PHP does not offer that, so an alternative would be to run something like my cs utility and extract it from that; but again, not exactly easier.

I think sticking with ANSICON for the time being is the simplest option.

Microsoft has documented their sequences.

There's at least one undocumented sequence (at least on 15063): ESC c RIS does a hard reset (Reset to Initial State).
