library location in calibre portable

Hi all,
I have installed calibre portable on my external USB drive and defined 3 libraries (italian, english and technical) at root level (i.e. - assuming the drive is X - X:\calibre portable, X:\italian, X:\english, and X:\technical). Everything works fine (I can quick-jump among libraries) as long as the PC assigns the same drive letter to my drive.
If the letter is different (i.e. on another PC the drive becames D then calibre will not find the libraries and I have to manually reassign the drive letter. Then everything will work fine until the next letter change.
It seems clear that calibre is storing the library pathname including the drive letter.
Is there a tweak to fix this? I mean a way to edit the library path so that the library can be identified relative to the installation directory (in may case it will be something like "../italian"

Thanks
