[PATCH v2] git-gui: Make git-gui lib dir configurable at runime

From
David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>

Message-ID
<1405975298-16304-1-git-send-email-dturner@twitter.com>

Introduce the GIT_GUI_LIB_DIR environment variable, to tell git-gui where to look for TCL libs. This allows a git-gui which has been built with a prefix of /foo to be run out of directory /bar. This is the equivalent of GIT_EXEC_PATH or GITPERLLIB but for git-gui's TCL libraries.
