I now recognized that not all hunks that I have in 4msysgit were applied
by Shawn.  See separate mail

Setting argv0_path correctly wouldn't help alone.  The relative
path to $prefix is different in $prefix/bin and
$prefix/libexec/git-core.  Thus, we cannot do the same computation.
system_path() would need to check from which directory the computation
starts.
