Looks like 37871b73 by Giuseppe Bilotta does not work very well on Windows. Instead of a former tcl/tk icon, the window has a black square as an icon.

This patch is a copy-paste from Git Gui, which uses a separate .ico file when it runs on Windows platforms. --- The patch is in line with what Giuseppe Bilotta proposed in [PATCH] gitk: try to set program icon on 2008-11-15 23:45:45 GMT Unfortunately, I could not find any particular reason why that patch was not applied, but without it, Gitk on Windows does not look as nice as it could.

The changes in the Makefile were only sanity-checked, not tested in the full-fledged build or install.

CC to msysGit list is because the changes are actually made and tested on top of git version 1.6.4.msysgit.0.597.gcd48
