If you do it this way, you'll either change directories and
print the directory you went to, or get an error changing
directories and display the list of directories found.
The only time this is awkward is if one directory was
found but the cd failed (i.e. mkdir x; chmod 0 x; fcd x).

function fcd {
	typeset dirs
	dirs=`find . -name "*${1}*" -type d -print`
	cd $dirs
	echo $dirs | tr ' ' '\012'
	}
