This is a common problem for all programs, and gnulib has a working
solution for that:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Supporting-Relocation.html

Also, this chapter describes a few more things gnulib can do for
windows:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Native-Windows-Support.html

I hope this can help make your work more maintainable.

Best regards,
