OK, thanks for handling that :)

Yep, correct.

Ah, ETL::absolute_path uses the working directory, which can be
different to the directory that the executable or shared library/dll is
located in.

To find the filename of the exe/dll on Windows, you use
GetModuleFileName, on OS X, you use _NSGetExecutablePath and on Linux
you can readlink /proc/self/exe or search for the library
in /proc/self/maps. Not sure how to do it on other platforms though.

Just found these:

http://autopackage.org/docs/binreloc/
http://www.oroboro.com/rafael/docserv.php/article/news/entry/52/num_entries=
/1

binreloc is public domain so we can translate that to C++ and include it
in ETL no problem. It doesn't handle Win32 or OS X though, but will be
useful for adding relocation support for Linux.

PS: I added gmatrus to the synfig sourceforge project with admin access.

PPS: Atrus, your emails have weird blocks/characters in them, is there
any chance you could send them in UTF-8 or plain ANSI?
