Sorry, I've lost context. What function do you want? canonicalize_file_name? 
set_program_name_and_installdir? I'm not a big fan of the latter, as it's a 
portability heavyweight (it makes lots of assumptions and might not be 
applicable to Emacs).

I still think it'd be better to put the dump into the executable itself, which 
can be done portably simply by linking a big C character array into the 
executable. in the long run this will be better for users (and for us) than 
fiddling with portability minefields like set_program_name_and_installdir.
