Comment(by wenzeslaus):

 `cd` command implemented in r59388 for trunk. `cd` without parameters
 opens the dialog opened from GUI main menu change working directory item.
 All supported possibilities are:

 {{{
 cd
 cd -h
 cd --h
 cd --help
 cd existing_dir
 cd not_existing_dir
 }}}

 Test:
 {{{
 cd "--h"
 Changes current working directory for this GUI.
 Usage: cd [directory]

 cd "asdfsae"
 [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'asdfsae'

 cd "raster"
 Working directory changed to:
 "/full/path/from/os.getcwd/function/to/raster"

 }}}

 Tested on Linux (Ubuntu) with spaces and UTF-8 in path. Needs test on MS
 Windows and Mac OS X.

 And by the way:
 {{{
 $ which cp
 /bin/cp
 $ which cd
 (no output)
 $ type cp
 cp is /bin/cp
 $ type cd
 cd is a shell builtin
 }}}
