The original author probaby didn't know of this Win32 function.

I actually noticed too that GetModuleFileName() wasn't used, but I thought
this was for a valid reason: it would return the name of the DLL instead of
that of the executable for the dynamically linked version of the library. It
seems I was wrong.

Could you try to implement your solution and test it with a dynamically
linked version of the library under Windows XP ? If all works fine, post a
patch here and I will apply it.
