+
+Given three strings @var{progname}, @var{bin_prefix}, @var{prefix}, return a string
+that gets to @var{prefix} starting with the directory portion of @var{progname} and
+a relative pathname of the difference between @var{bin_prefix} and @var{prefix}.
+
+For example, if @var{bin_prefix} is @code{/alpha/beta/gamma/gcc/delta}, @var{prefix}
+is @code{/alpha/beta/gamma/omega/}, and @var{progname} is @code{/red/green/blue/gcc},
+then this function will return @code{/red/green/blue/../../omega/}.

+The return value is normally allocated via @code{malloc}.  If no relative prefix
