Hi all.  I'm trying to create a relocatable installation of Git 2.9.2,
so I can copy it anywhere and it continues to run without any problem.
This is on GNU/Linux systems, FWIW.

I had an impression that the setting was only to support MS Windows.

Hm.  You may be right.  If so that's too bad, because a relocatable Git
is very handy even on UNIX systems.

I see no reason why we have to keep the RUNTIME_PREFIX functional for
Windows only. Paul, how about giving it a try to fix things? I can make
sure that your changes do not break anything on Windows.

Ciao,
Johannes
