One thing that really would make things a lot easier would be a fchdir()
call, that took a file descriptor and tried to chdir to it. All the info
that UNIX needs for the chdir is available via the fd.

Then you could do this:

	cwfd = open(".", 0);
	/* chdir around building cwd */
	fchdir(cwfd);
	close(cwfd);

One of the few features AmigaDOS has over UNIX...
