Short Answer: the top level oarts of the build system are setting values
for paths from constant values in the C code - these include
SYSCONFDIR
LOCALEDIR
PKGDATADIR
PKGNAME
...(others?)
and ENABLE_BINRELOC

These are then ignored by Windows and instead glib is used
via g_win32_get_package_installation_directory().

These constant values will be appearing on the compile command line as
-D SYSCONFDIR=/usr/....
etc....

I have been digging around here. It appears that the presence of
binreloc.c in our sources is misleading, since we have ENABLE_BINRELOC
set false in our build.

My guess is that the changes required are to the top level build
invocation/files so as to set SYSCONFDIR and friends to good values.
Jeremiah, are you able to help with this?
