Add a winmerge scriptlet with the commands described in [1] so that users can use winmerge without needing to perform any additional configuration.

Changes since v2: We now use "$PROGRAMFILES" exclusively
and let the shell concatenate the " (x86)" part when testing
filesystem paths.  The C:/... hard-coded fallbacks have been
