That just moves the dependency from one library to the other, did a bit of
digging any came up with this:

This code will tell where the running .exe is located, it will return a
string such
as "C:\gEDA\geda.exe".  Find the last '\' and use everything before that as
the path.
May have to change '\' to '\\'  or '/' depending on the usage.

/*
 * Simple example of how to find the location of running .exe (us).
 *
 * Example does not account for issues of Internalization of file
names/file systems.
 */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

int main( void )
{
  char FileName_ca[MAX_PATH];

  HINSTANCE instance_h = GetModuleHandle(NULL);

  if(  GetModuleFileName(instance_h, FileName_ca, MAX_PATH) )
    {
      printf( "We are located at: %s\n", FileName_ca );
    }
  else
   {
     /* ASSERT or something, as this should never happen */
   }
}
