I want to Gnu Screen to dynamically rename the current Screen window after the current directory. Is there any way to get Screen to do this? If it requires patching the source, I’d like to know that’s the only option.

This is indeed seems to be possible, check out Automagic screen window titles and Dynamic Titles section from the screen manual.
