[support] page titles for views?

[Bill Fitzgerald]

I don't know if this would work, as I haven't tried this yet, so, take 
this for what it's worth.

Which ain't much...

How about a function in template.php that would grab a title generated 
from some php in the view header?

This way, it would Just Work in any view, and you wouldn't need to 
hardcode anything --

Cheers,

Bill
