EVERY DAMN SHELL HAS CDPATH!!! although for csh and tcsh the syntax is
set cdpath (. /usr/mom /usr/dad /homw)
}
}$ CDPATH=".:/usr/mom:/usr/dad:/home"
}
}and then 
}
}$ cd foo
}
}Will search, in order, for ./foo, /usr/mom/foo, /usr/dad/foo, /home/foo
}and whichever one it finds first it will cd to (and echo the directory
}name it chose).
}
Course there is also th cdable_vars variable in bash. When it is set you 
can do:
cdable_vars=on
src=$HOME/etc/src
then when you do
$ cd src
it will look for src in your CDPATH. i.e. ./src, /usr/mom/src. /usr/dad/src
and /home/src. If none of these exist, it will then cd to $src 
This is useful IMHO
