This is actually not true on Windows or (I believe) some situations on macOS, 
where we need to use a redirecting launcher to actually launch the binary 
specified in this value. But on POSIX, because all the references are hardcoded 
in the binary, we can just copy the original around and it never loses track of 
its real home and never has to launch its original copy.
