ATM it looks like this:

However, I am still wondering what to make of the silly behaviour I 
observed earlier: the PATH was forgotten either by "sh" being called from 
"cmd", or by "wish84" being called from "sh".

But the strangest part about it: if I replaced the program names with 
their absolute path, then the command line options would _not_ be ignored. 
Strange.

If I get that fsck up fixed, I'd like to work with Han-Wen on enhancing 
his installer (which is nice!) with wish, bash, perl, and a shortcut to 
git-gui in Start Menu/Git/Git GUI.

BTW any news on the integration of gitk in git-gui?

Ciao,
