Folks:
	For my xterms I have cd aliased so that the current working directory
appears in the title of my xterm screen.  It would be nice to do some
form of this in epoch, i.e.:
	1) if current window of screen is shell, put path of shell as title
	   of screen
	2) otherwise make title of current window the title of the screen.

Or some extensible variation on this theme.

Anybody have existing code to do this?  If not, any guesses as to how hard
this would be to implement?  I'm an elisp novice, so I wouldn't undertake
this myself unless it were pretty simple.
