That won't be the only file that you'll need to locate if you want to
to relocate your binaries.

You might want to take a look at my simple binary relocation program 
    http://www.bell-labs.com/project/nsbd/breloc.html
which works by configuring binaries with a prefix with a bunch of extra

to find support files.
