[gaim-migrate @ 11392] This does #2 of binreloc, by reworking ben miller's patch #780565 It's untested, since i don't have a system without /proc, and worse, the m4 macro will compile it to use the hard coded prefix if the /proc file doesn't exist. So this needs to be fixed yet. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
