I use the following solution:

# in .profile:

alias cd=c
. .functs

# in a separate file called ".functs":

c() { cd $1; PS1="`tput smso``pwd`:`tput rmso`
"; }

This prints the prompt as inverse video, and gives me an entire
line on which to enter long commands.  (This can be handy if the
cwd is long, also...)
