You will have to insert code into the 'hook-function 'chpwd' for
example by creating a directory of 'environments' like '~/.vim/direnv.d/*'
and put 'setters' and 'unsetters' into files with some naming scheme,
and let 'chpwd' source those files according to some schema (tests
regexps on name, etc.).  This might be realy useful I think...
