This resulted in a mostly working git toolset after I've done this in
addition to installing it:

- Installed MSYS (of course ;)
- Install libiconv-2.dll, which can be found in
diffutils-2.8.7-1-dep.zip from

Can you be more specific? Which files required this?

git.exe, for example, hence, at least all builtins.

It is entirely coincidental that another DLL from another package
works, and it's a bug in our packaging.

Why should this not work? The diffutils package I mentioned is from MinGW.

Anyway, I think we should not link against libiconv*.dll at all because it 
slows down the startup too much.

The path to Git should also have been set automatically. I will look into
this.

Well, I did not reboot, or log out and in again. I just opened a CMD after the 
installation was complete. Usually, CMD picks up new PATHs if they have been 
modified via the Settings->System->Advanced (or whatsitcalled) tool. So, I 
thought it would be the same with installations.
