If I may add a shameless self-ad:
you can keep a list of often used directories and access them via M-x
cdargs (aliased to M-x cv, too) when you use my cdargs program which
is located at
http://www.skamphausen.de/software/cdargs
and ships with a file cdargs.el. I'd be happy to receive some feedback
of GNU Emacs users on this.

Thanks for listening ;-)
