I assume you have something like #define MYMACRO "path/to/file" and this MYMACRO is used here and there in the internal library. Instead, you can set #define MYMACRO getPath() and this getPath function is defined somewhere and uses R's C API to find that file and return the path (does someone know whether the functionality of system.file() is directly accessible from C?).
