I think using $PWD might give you a few problems. I had written a
wrapper script around acme that bound ./acme.dump over $home/acme.dump,
and when ./ happens to be inside a remote filesystem, acme would get
upset if it suddenly became inaccessible due to flaky wifi or something,
and of course the time that you want a dump the most is when you can't
save your work by other means.
I've switched to just binding dumps from a directory in $home. If you
want to do some guessing of the dump name or something, I don't suspect
that it'd take more than about 10 or 20 lines of rc to do it.
