According to Corinna Vinschen on 7/22/2008 11:02 AM:
| Thanks for the testcase.  I was looking into the path conversion code
| but it works as expected.  It didn't occur to me that the problem might
| be related to using the long path name syntax when creating processes
| with CreateProcessW.  Since GetModuleFileName just returns the path
| litarally as it has been specified in CreateProcess, native applications
| relying on the content (and not being wide path capable) have a good
| chance to fail.  I applied a patch to Cygwin which avoid this.  tclsh
| and insight both work fine for me now.

I've verified that a self-built .dll gets further with building gitk and
git-gui under 1.7.0.  Thanks for the fix.
