Hi,

I ran into som issues when compiling git-gui on Windows. Turns out
that the "sharedir" variable gets an incorrect value when "gitexecdir"
contains a space.

For instance when
gitexecdir is set to "/c/Program Files/Git/mingw64/libexec",
sharedir becomes "/c/ Files/Git/mingw64/share".

Perhaps it is me doing something wrong when setting the gitexecdir env
variable? I use
export gitexecdir=/c/Program\ Files/Git/mingw64/libexec

If that's a way to do it, should the Makefile be modified to derive
sharedir another way? Perhaps with a check if we're on a Windows
system.

What do you think?
