I use PuTTY and screen and window titles are shown in the screens
during emerging, etc... I don't think I've had to do anything to
accomplish this, I'm just using the default /etc/screenrc

I did find a great status-bar that shows open screens (gentoo weekly
newsletter? or maybe on this list... don't remember):

caption always "%{= kw}%-w%{= BW}%n %t%{-}%+w %-= @%H - %LD %d %LM - %c"

As far as the syntax of the hardstatus I think it may be usual termcap syntax.
