Redefine screen titles + adding a proper path as WA_Title (all 4 video drivers) #38

To follow the standard and to make it more readable and easy to use you should 
redefine the screen titles and also adding a proper path as WA_Title (in all 4 
video drivers)

In end you might use that style:

"WA_ScreenTitle" ---> that it is the Workbench title might have this format:

    MPlayer for AmigaOS4 (PIP)
    MPlayer for AmigaOS4 (CGX)
    MPlayer for AmigaOS4 (Comp)
    MPlayer for AmigaOS4 (SDL)

"WA_Title" --> That it is the video window instead; it should contain the full 
path of the video + off course the name of the video in playing, for example:

    MPlayer - Work:movie/batman.mp4

This will follow the style of the original version and even better it should 
give a more readable experience to the users that will understand what specific 
driver they are using at the moment, and what video is in playing and where it 
is located.

I agree, but the path in window title I don't like, as it can be really long.

A directory name can easily be 127 chars, and if you have two or tree levels of 
directories, then maybe you can't see the movie name.

Right, however it might be solved "cutting" the text's path at some point, 
consider that 127 chars is more than enough in most case, but in the remaining 
case you can use this method ... sure it will need a bit more work but i think 
it will worth
