There is currently a lot of refactoring going on in difftool/mergetool,
so of course I didn't send this to Junio against 'master'. But if you
want I can send it for you based on 'master' (or 4msysgit.git 'devel').

Junio, is this something for maint? I'm not sure, since this problem
only occurs on Windows and 'maint' isn't interesting for msysgit ATM.
