I like this.
On Windows you can also get a nice "browse for folder" dialog in batch files with Wfolder [1]. If you replace "cdwhere.exe" in your script (cdhere.cmd) with "wfolder.exe" [2] and put wfolder.exe in the same directory as cdhere.cmd then instead of going to the location open in the topmost Explorer window the "cdhere" command will ask you where to cd, starting at your current location (like so: http://i.imgur.com/3MCzD4b.png).
Edit: Wfolder comes with a script that's analogous to cdhere.cmd.
