The new execdir has is two levels below the root directory, while the old execdir 'bin' was only one level below. This commit adapts the discovery of oguilib that uses relative paths accordingly.

Hmmph. This actually comes up incorrectly on my system. The issue appears to be `git --exec-path` gives me $prefix/libexec/git-core, and git-gui installs its library into $prefix/libexec/share, which is wrong. It should have gone to $prefix/share. I wonder if this is better. Your other two patches seem fine. --8<-- [PATCH] git-gui: Correct installation of library to be $prefix/share We always wanted the library for git-gui to install into the $prefix/share directory, not $prefix/libexec/share. All of the files in our library are platform independent and may be reused across systems, like any other content stored in the share directory. Our computation of where our library should install to was broken when git itself started installing to $prefix/libexec/git-core, which was one level down from where we expected it to be.
