Why does executablePrefix() use a linux-only (/proc) method for finding the
full path to the current executable? Isn't there a way that works everywhere,
like using argv[0], resolved to $PWD if relative?

I guess libraryPrefix() cannot be "ported" so easily - but OTOH nothing in your patch
seems to be using it...
