(Answering my own question: I guess a relative path doesn't work since it would have to be relative to the CWD when invoking the linker, and we don't know that. We could however invent something like rpath's `$origin` so the compiler could pass a directive like `/libpath:$origin\..\lib\clang\16\lib\windows`. But I think having the linker find that dir by itself is better.)
