It could run 'jhbuild shell' if UNDER_JHBUILD is unset, then do the
jump. That would be useful.
I soon ran into the should-have-been-obvious-in-hindsight limitation that you can't change the parent process's working directory from a jhbuild command.
I'm thinking a bash alias might be better in this case. (Unless we want something like "cd `jhbuild jump`")
