  ...and so I did.  This is a quick mod to add a string escape (%T) 
which will be expanded to the full path of the tty a given window is 
using.  This patch is against screen-4.0.2 and was only barely tested 
under NetBSD 2.0_BETA.

I added the following to my .screenrc:

  windowlist string "%3n %t  <%T>%=%f"

When I invoke the windowlist command it looks like:

Num Name                                                            Flags
  0 less  </dev/ttypi>                                                  $
  1 tcsh  </dev/ttypj>                                                  $
  2 vi  </dev/ttypg>                                                    $

Enjoy,
