For what it's worth we added a similar facility to Apple gdb.  Our  
command isn't very fancy:

(gdb) apropos pathname-sub
set pathname-substitutions -- Set string substitutions to be used when  
searching for source files
show pathname-substitutions -- Show string substitutions to be used  
when searching for source files

It takes a series of directory pairs, e.g.

(gdb) set pathname-substitutions /old1 /new1 /old2 /new2

etc.  It uses buildargv to parse the arguments so they can be quoted.   
Making it a standard set/show command gets us MI support for free.
