the simplest of all: upgrade your netrw
you'll see a version for netrw in the banner -- currently mine
reads v136h -- if your netrw reports anything less than that, i
recommend an upgrade -- visit
http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#NETRW
for the absolute latest and greatest netrw
the reason i recommend an upgrade is that very recently there was a
bugfix to netrw that addressed the autochdir option -- i had turned
'autochdir' on, and it was causing problems for me in netrw -- i
started using the BufEnter autocmd to lcd to %:p:h as a work
around, much as you are, but netrw was fixed and there's no reason
i am aware of that i can't go back to using 'autochdir'
