Sorry now, we did that once, back in the 1.0 days, we even hacked CVS up
to handle symlinks, it was a mess, it has been abandon as a solution.

You might try this:
set cdpath=(/sys/{i386,} /usr/src/{bin,sbin,usr.{bin,sbin},lib,libexec,share,contrib,etc,games,gnu/{games,include,lib,libexec,usr.bin,usr.sbin,},include,})

Then a ``cd blah'' will get you to the right place.... except now that
bind has been imported this way you need to add usr.sbin/bind to that
list...
