Since this is just a single file cpp program it shouldn't need such a thorough makefile. Currently it is based on a template I found online but the build phase can probably just be hardcoded instead of templated as it is right now. The test, info and install methods should probably be kept as is.

I think it might be useful to include a dogear like subcommand which allows you to search your bookmarks. The search results would be returned in terms of lexical similarity to bookmarks names. I don't think it would be very important to actually search based on the directory so let's just skip that for now.

Currently dogear allows you to jump to specific bookmarked directories with commands like flipto projects. This works well but often you don't actually want to jump to a bookmark but specifically to a subdirectory of a bookmark. It would be nice to be able to specify a path starting at the bookmarked directory.

Now

$ flipto projects
$ cd dogear/spec

Future

$ flipto projects dogear/spec

If the bookmark exists, but the subdirectory doesn't it would just change to the bookmark and print out an error along with an error code. Otherwise it would specifically change to the directory in question.

Specifically I think these would be useful for dogear find and dogear like commands. The flipto shell function could then use the output of the find command to provide additional information to the user when a bookmark can't be found for example.
