You shouldn't use Tcl's "cd" in a port -- it changes the current working directory of the entire process. We should probably remove the Tcl command from the interpreter.-landonfI think we should change this behavior rather than disabling the command. Useful working directories in build stages (e.g. ${worksrcpath} in configure or ${destroot} in destroot) would be a nice feat.
We would have to rewrite? all file operations to take into account a virtual current working directory, and somehow maintain that context within the current execution block. Seems safer and less work to just not depend on a the current working directory (which is always a good idea, anyway).
