I have thought about rewriting it in a different language, but I

Any suggestions?

It(Qt4) wasn't a suggestion though. I still consider Tcl/Tk more portable.

Qt4 is a very good designed and elegant API and it works perfectly
under Windows, see current porting of qgit under Windows:

              git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/qgit/qgit4


Language to use is C++, not C (much more powerful IMHO)

One thing that you should note is that if you go Qt4/C++ you can
forget to have it all in one file.

I think you should consider the new gitk 'footprint' becuase if you
leave TCL, any windows library you use will force you to create a
multi file project.

P.S: If you choose Qt/C++ (the best technically speaking ;-)  please
you could consider starting from an already laid out code base instead
of starting from scratch.
As example, hmmmm, I think there is one called 'qgit', if I remember
correctly. It's nice and very very very fast.
