% set hardpaths

This works on all cshs that know about the hardpaths variable, among
them the csh that comes with SunOS.  It also applies to pushed
directories listed with "dirs".

Some people like the fact that the name of the symlink is used rather
than the hardpath.  I don't, but since it can be done either way, so
what?
