I was just looking at the CMU Shell and comint sources for the purpose of
adding a hook to the directory tracker that would allow a "synchronization" to
occur upon input of the "pwd" command.

I got tired of having my Emacs lose track of what directory my shell buffer is
in. I figured it would be easy but it does not seem so. Emacs would have to
read the output from the shell when pwd was invoked and then do a cd to that
directory.

Anyone have any insight on this?
