As of now, git fails to build with default config if tclsh is not available, thus requiring manual config tweaking just because of some optimizations done at build time; this is a needless hassle when building git on any kind of a server. This patch makes git-gui's build process to handle this gracefully; unless TCL_PATH is explicitly set, if tclsh cannot be executed only a warning is printed and the build goes on. I have tested this only on that server with no tclsh, but hopefully it shouldn't break the build process with tclsh available either.
