Hmm, I'd kinda like to have it as cdb. It's much faster to type, and I 
implemented it in anticipation of frequent directory switching back and 
forth, like cdb foos [foo source], do some stuff there, cdb fooh [foo 
header], do other stuff there.

Well, the new patch I've attached implements it that way anyway ;-). I 
also removed the persistent file as config option; I just couldn't get 
the config system working :-/. I guess it could be implemented as config 
option once the config system is fixed, i.e. python-based configuration 
files are implemented.
