It's really not much more to it than the abstract concept. :)

The practical issues are typically:
Find all places in the code which does things like
   image = load_image (DATADIR "/images/myimage.png");
with
   gchar *datadir = gbr_find_datadir (DATADIR);
   gchar *imagepath = g_build_filename (datadir, "images", "myimage.png");
   image = load_image (imagepath);

and put a gbr_init() call somewhere in the beginning of main().

To see some real world cases were binreloc is used, just dive into any
of the autopackage binaries, like mkapspec, gladecompat, autosu-gtk
and autosu-tui.
