you might want to checkout a program called cdargs (yes, this is a
shameless self-ad).  It provides bookmarks for the shell (bash is well
supported, tcsh and zsh a little bit) and also integrates into emacs so
that you can do a "M-x cv" and use the same bookmarks as in bash. 

In addition to that, you might also be interested in anything
(anything.el) which I use a lot these days.


Kind regards,
Stefan
