I had meant to add it to my message, and ended up forgetting to do so.
I think GCC is a good example of that, in the way it looks for the
`specs' file and helper executables. It uses paths relative to the
one in which the executable was installed, falling back to a
hard-coded prefix, that can be overridden by GCC_EXEC_PREFIX or by -B
switches in the command line.
