[support] Change title of View Tab on a node page

[Mukesh Agarwal]

I guess you are right.. i just wanted my hook_menu_alter to help me out here
but turns out that it cannot support dynamic titles.. I can always replace
"View" by "Take a look" from the hook but dynamic part does not work.. Plus
it would have been good if menu would not get cached by default..

Yeah, i've added the ellipsis in my code, forgot to copy that here..

Cheers,
Mukesh
