Here's a slightly more easily-extensible version of that program,
written in Python (2.6 or higher; works in 3.x). The values set in the
attr dictionary work best in 256-color mode.

----------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python

from __future__ import print_function, division, unicode_literals

import sys
import os

attr = {}
attr['vim'] = 'fg=colour90'
attr['ssh'] = 'fg=colour28'

def spawn(prog, args):
    os.execvp(prog, args)
    print("Can't exec: %s" % os.strerr(os.errno), file=sys.stderr)
    sys.exit(1)


if len(sys.argv) <= 1:
    sys.exit(1)

args = sys.argv[1:]

if len(args) == 1 or "TMUX" not in os.environ:
    spawn(args[0], args)

progname = args[0]
arg0     = args[0]
del(args[0])

if progname in attr:
    arg = None
    for a in args:
        if len(a) > 0 and a[0] != '-':
            arg = a.rsplit('/', 1)[-1]
            if arg == '': arg = None
            break
    if arg is not None:
        arg0 = '#[' + attr[progname] + ']' + arg + '#[default]'

spawn(progname, [arg0] + args)
----------------------------------------------------------------

If you drop it somewhere in your path as "wtitle" (after setting
executable permissions), and add the following to your ~/.bashrc or
whatever, then you get some better (IMHO) auto-titling behavior for vim
and ssh under tmux:

----------------------------------------------------------------
if test -n "${TMUX-}" && command -v wtitle >/dev/null 2>&1
then
    alias vim='wtitle vim'
    alias ssh='wtitle ssh'
fi
----------------------------------------------------------------

Cheers!
