When I inserted '/usr/bin/sort' I had checked for 'which sort' on my
Linux and it gave me /usr/bin/sort. Now I see that /bin/sort is probably
the canonical path to sort on any *nix. Will change that. But is this
also true for 'find'?

Nice trick! But don't try this at home without parental guidance! It
fills your screen with recursive console window invocations of itself.

I put this into gitk.cmd (didn't try .bat):

@start wish84.exe "%~d0%~p0gitk" %*

assuming wish84 is in the PATH (which is probably a sane assumption
because either it is part of the installer, in which case it should have
set up the PATH, or you have Tcl/Tk installed for some other reason, in
which case you will want to have it in the PATH, too).

Futhermore, I like to have the GUI sent into the background
automatically and without opening another console window, hence, the use
of 'start'.
