[PATCH 2/3] git-gui: fix PATH environment for mingw development environment

When creating a desktop shortcut from the gui the shortcut directly starts wish with the git-gui script. In the msysgit development environment some dll's reside in the mingw/bin directory which causes that git can not start because libiconv2.dll is not found.

When using such a link the error is even more cryptic stating: "child killed: unknown signal"

I am not sure whether this is the most elegant solution, but making this
work would definitely ease the development workflow.
