I like the look of it, but it's not working here:

c:\work\active\apps>cdir.bat
(`cdir.rb`) was unexpected at this time.

cdir.bat:
--------------------
@echo off
for /f "usebackq" %%i (`cdir.rb`) do cd %%i
--------------------

cdir.rb:
--------------------
cwd = '\windows'
puts cwd
exit(0)
--------------------
