On Linux, I guess we could readlink(/proc/self/exe), but I don't know 
what we could do on other OSes.  In general, argv[0] isn't very useful.

What I had suggested to someone a while back, was that first, we should 
refactor things so that we can try to read all of the bios/keymap files 
from a number of paths.  That way, we could try the current path, the -L 
path, the path of the exe, etc.   The only problem with that it can 
become confusing trying to figure out what bios you are using.
