flag for quiet CDPATH

I find it a little unpleasant that cd echoes the new working directory
when CDPATH is used to locate the new directory (I already have the
working directory in my prompt).  I understand that this is behavior
is mandated by POSIX but I wonder if we could have an option that
disables this.

Maybe if the `cd' builtin had an option, say `-q', that would cause it
to be quit if CDPATH is used.  Then, I could simply

alias cd='cd -q'

and put a stop to this.  I have attached a proposed patch, any thoughts?

Thanks,
