[PATCH] git-gui: Adapt discovery of oguilib to execdir 'libexec/git-core'

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. We determine whether we have the extra level in the same
way in which the Makefile defines sharedir, i.e. whether the last
directory part is 'git-core'.

I run git-gui effectivly with

  wish $prefix/libexec/git-core/git-gui

(and I have $PATH set up to contain $bindir, but not $gitexecdir),
and this
needs the original hunk with the three [file dirname ... ], because
$argv0
points to $prefix/libexec/git-core/git-gui.

The original hunk fixes the discovery of oguilib, i.e.
from $prefix/libexec/git-core/git-gui to $prefix/share/git-gui/lib

I didn't recognize that the the 'three [file dinames ...]' have
not been applied because I had this change already in 4msysgit
(and still have).  Apologies for not checking this more carefully.

I thought I understood what's going on, but I don't anymore.

Mybe the relative discovery of oguilib must be conditional on the
"git-core"
part as well, just like you discover sharedir?

Hmm... you are right.  If we want to maintain compatibility
with *both* directory layouts, obviously all computations
that depend on the layout need to be conditional on it.

Here is a patch that does just this.
