[PATCH] git-gui: check whether systems nice command works or disable it

From: Heiko Voigt <hvoigt@hvoigt.net>

This fixes issue 394 from msysgit. It seems that the Gnuwin32 project provides a nice command but it returns a "not implemented" error. To help users we now try to execute once and disable it in case it fails.
