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 v3:
* "type -p" is used instead of "type".
* printf is consistently used instead of echo.
* an env | grep pipeline is used to get the variables instead of hard-coding
  a set of variables in the script, as suggested by Sebastian in
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/269437/focus=269441
