Making the (unwarranted?) assumption that Oracle's library only captures
the title during connect, it seems like DBI-Link could be made to just
transiently override the title while connecting. There should be no
need to break user-visible behavior for this.

The whole thing seems mighty bizarre though. Given the number of
different ways we have to set the process title, I rather wonder whether
what we do will always determine what Oracle sees, on every platform.
