Hmmm...no that wouldn't work since "autochdir" is off by default so
this would effectively disable this feature.

I think I'll leave things as they are; if more people complain about
it I'll start thinking about a better solution.  (It's only a guess,
but I think most people do want the pwd to be set to the first file
they open.)
