+Creating a relocatable Windows binary
+-------------------------------------
+
+On Windows it is possible to compile pandoc such that it
+(and its data files) are "relocatable." You can put the relocatable
+binary in any directory (even on a USB drive), and it will look for its
+data files there.
+
+ cabal install --flags="embed_data_files" citeproc-hs
+ cabal install --flags="executable -library" --datasubdir=
+
+You can find `pandoc.exe` in `dist/build/pandoc`. Copy this wherever
+you please, and copy the following data files to the same place:
+
+ README
+ COPYRIGHT
+ COPYING
+ reference.odt
+ reference.docx
+ epub.css
+ default.csl
+ templates/
+ data/
+ s5/
+ slidy/
+ dzslides/
+ pcre-license.txt
+ pcre3.dll
+
+This is essentially what the binary installer does.
