Although that is a certain possibility, I'd just prefer the
program use argv[0] and fnsplit() to find the path that the
executable resides in.

In other words, system shared libs go in one directory on the
system, and an app's own libs either stay in the app directory,
and the app knows that they're there, or else they are put in a
SEPARATE lib dir.  (C:\USR\LOCAL\LIB?)
