Though I haven't tried the plugin Gary suggested, he did mention
that the tags are generated automatically. You'd need to have
the "ctags" program itself, but you shouldn't need to make the
tags yourself.

For this same purpose (along with other features), I've been
using the taglist plugin:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=273

Its help page has a section entitled:
"Displaying the tag name in the Vim status line or the window title bar"

It shows how to setup your status line to display the current
function. As with the other plugin, you don't need to manually
generate any tags. They are automatically generated by the
plugin using the ctags program.
