Correct, and a simple application launcher (small utility appl) can do
this quite nicely. I even think startlaz should be modified to support
this - it should be quite handy for some developers, and makes startlaz
a bit more useful.

I have done this before with a small launcher app, but don't use it any
more...Just looked, I can't find the code for it either, sorry. What I
did was something like this:  The launcher app picked up the drive
letter (and path) where lazarus executable lives (they are both in the
same directory), then sets an environment variable before launching the
lazarus executable. The fpc.cfg uses the environment variable to
correctly specify the unit paths. Actually I can't remember if it was an
environment variables or a small auto generated text file that is
included via #INCLUDE inside fpc.cfg. Anyway, one of them worked.
