I think I have a likely solution to this problem, using getcurrentdirectory
and putting a re-directing include into each demo,  that's written by
RunDemos to have the path of the new Win32Lib in it...but I probably can't
do it right now 'cause my younger brother just had a mild heart attack & is
in the hospital.  :(
