Subject: 23.1; shell-command: optionally include working dir in prompt

At http://namazu.org/~tsuchiya/elisp/shell-command.el is an emacs
library that "enables tab-completion for `shell-command'".

I noticed recently that Emacs does this internally now.  Yay!  But one
thing shell-command.el did that Emacs 23 doesn't appear to do, is to
include the working directory in the shell-command and
dired-do-shell-command prompts.  It'd be neat if Emacs did that, too.

In GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
 of 2009-09-14 on raven, modified by Debian
configured using `configure  '--build=i486-linux-gnu' '--host=i486-linux-gnu' '--prefix=/usr' '--sharedstatedir=/var/lib' '--libexecdir=/usr/lib' '--localstatedir=/var/lib' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--with-pop=yes' '--enable-locallisppath=/etc/emacs23:/etc/emacs:/usr/local/share/emacs/23.1/site-lisp:/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp:/usr/share/emacs/23.1/site-lisp:/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp:/usr/share/emacs/23.1/leim' '--with-x=no' 'build_alias=i486-linux-gnu' 'host_alias=i486-linux-gnu' 'CFLAGS=-DDEBIAN -g -O2' 'LDFLAGS=-g' 'CPPFLAGS=''
