That's beyond the point.
I'm happy with the gtk toolkit I have, I wrote .exes, but I meant all 
the files that sould to be in the gtk bin directory.

They don't, but I do.
If I want to refer to some non-gtk file in my app I need to know where 
this file is, For example a ini file, having my_app.exe in the bin 
directory forces me to put the ini file in that directory too or to 
write code to point to it using ../my_app.ini and I don't like it.
