One way to fix this, I think, to work like your mind works is to do some clever
aliasing:
	make "cd name" push the current directory to the directory stack,
then change to name (possibly a link).
	make "cd .." change to the directory which is at the top of the
directory stack, then pop the stack.

It may have to be a script checking for ".." as the first arg to "cd", rather
than a straight alias, but that would work, I think.
