Allow tabs to be placed on left or right

It should be possible to put the tabs on the left or right of the iTerm window, as in Adium or Firefox (with Tree Style Tabs extension).
I log into a lot of different machines, often with long titles. Increasing the tab width (below) has been super helpful, but widescreen monitors make vertical space a scarce resource.

defaults write com.googlecode.iterm2 MinTabWidth -int 300
