The terminal has no understanding of the output of the programs running it in
so you'd need to find some suitable heuristics.

The current heuristic is very simple, whenever input is received from the user,
a timer is started which expires ~2 seconds later, at which point the current
working directory of the program which has control of the terminal is recorded.
 The reason for the long timeout is to avoid the tab titles changing too
frequently (see the Mac terminal application for an example of this problem).
