I don't like the idea of asking the user to run a program as part of an
installation. I suspect they will forget to run it (they don't read
README's, remember?). DJ's suggestion is automatic as it doesn't
require to set or run anything, and that is a Good Thing (IMHO).

I don't see how DJ's proposal will bloat the startup code, since the code
to compute the basename of the executable from argv[0] is already there
(it is required to find the [foo] section). You just need to add a
single call to open the file with that name; how much of a bloat is that?
