No hacks, this is using the custom events in 6.2.1. After creating the slider(s) for the page, setup a window resize handler, and within that for each slider get the new height and use the 'configuration' event to reset the height of that slider. Finally trigger the 'updateSizes' event. The relevant code:

var options = {
  responsive: true,
  height: 'auto',
  onCreate: function() { jQuery(window).on('resize', resizeMyslider); },
  // remaining options
  ...
};
myslider.carouFredSel(options);

function resizeMyslider(e) {
  var newHeight = 0;
  // Get new height of items (be sure css isn't setting a fixed height)
  myslider.children().map(
    function() {
      newHeight = Math.max(newHeight, jQuery(this).height());
    }
  );
  // Change configuration of slider
  myslider.trigger('configuration', ['height', newHeight + 'px']);
  // Tell slider to use new configuration height
  myslider.trigger('updateSizes');
}

Ideally you'd implement the window resize event through a timeout or requestanimationframe, but this is the basics.
