Is there any way to get the name of the file being rendered so that I can
stick it in a text object?

I'm working on an include file that sets up my camera & lights and I've
added the ability to put information about the scene into the image (using
screen.inc).  I'd like to add a title to the image while I'm at it.

That's how I'm doing it now.

Unfortunately, when I'm working on anything complicated, I tend to resave
the files with changed names so I'll be able to back up a step or two when
needed.  (foobar.pov --> foobar2.pov --> foobar3.pov ...) Whenever I do
this, I also have to change the variable.

There's GOTTA be a way to do this...
