Originally 'autochdir' was added for NetBeans.  I didn't like it very
much, because it makes Vim behavior less predictable, you need to know
the value of the option to predict what directory you are in.

By now quite a few people use the 'autochdir' option without NetBeans.
I think we should add a separate feature for this: FEAT_AUTOCHDIR.  It
will be enabled like now and when "big" features are used.
