On UNIX, not only that argv[0] can contain the program without path -- it can
contain anything the user thinks of.... Maybe since
it's only needed for resolving a relative exec dir, relative exec dir could
be supported only on systems that have such method (which is most of them).
The "relocatable install" itself is not usually a common concept in the
UNIX world, and I do not think this matters anyway.
