One question that pops up in my mind:

If I have a standalone, autopackage-enabled KDE app under
/opt/my-kde-app

and then make a symlink like

ln -s /opt/my-kde-app/bin/my-kde-app /usr/X11/bin/my-kde-app

to be able to start it from the command line, which prefix would be returned 
then by br's PREFIX? The symlinked one /usr/X11, or the canonical 
one /opt/my-kde-app.

If the symlinked one is returned, binreloc would be unsuitable for starting 
stand-alone apps over symlinks, as they cannot determine their correct prefix 
any more.
