It's a small set of scripts and aliases for doing pretty much what you describe here. http://freshmeat.net/projects/wd/ I never build a new dev machine w/o it.

If you want to use this for non-Ruby project folders let me know and I could add a switch to look for alternate root files. Perhaps README is a better root file to look for. Also, its likely that this script will generate some crap aliases, but hopefully they are irrelevant and don't affect your auto-completion for other things.
