Somebody already made a proposal to support application bundles for 
stand-alone KDE applications some time ago. It would be nice to see support 
for KDE applications that can be installed and executed under an arbitrary 
prefix (which is different from $KDEDIRS). KStandardDirs should then 
automatically look into the application prefix, too.

Your idea looks like exactly that, so could you post a patch against KDE head?
Whoa, BinReloc looks like great stuff :-)
