git-gui's Makefile hardcodes the absolute Windows path of git-gui's libraries into git-gui, destroying the ability to package git-gui on one machine and distribute to others. The intent is to do this only if a non-Cygwin Tcl/Tk is installed, but the test for this is wrong with the unix/X11 Tcl/Tk shipped since 2012. Also, Cygwin does not support a non-Cygwin Tcl/Tk.

The Cygwin git maintainer disables this code, so this code is definitely not in use in the Cygwin distribution, and targets an untested / unsupportable configuration.

The simplest approach is to just delete the Cygwin specific code as stock Cygwin needs no special handling. Do so.
