Intelligently Change Directory (icd) 0.2

Avoid using tiresome aliases to change directories! Change into arbitrary subdirectories. The "algorithm" is greedy: the shortest matching path is used. It maps your home directory at "installation" and searches the map to find the directory which you want to change into. It might be usefull to set an alias to often used command line options. I for example use alias icd="icd -f" as I have linked /mnt somewhere into my home. You can also manually create map files with the naming covention XX_name, where X is a digit [0-9] and name my be any alphanumeric combination.
