Agree. It is trivial, but it will help others. It might also be a good 
idea to have a shortcut in "$PF/Git/Git Gui.lnk" to the git gui (once it 
is working, that is).

I'd also like to see bash, perl and wish bundled with the install (Windows 
lusers are so used to one big install package, so it is an _advantage_ to 
have a bigger download).
