If:

1. there is a .lnk file named gitk.lnk with target for example:

    D:\MSYS\1.0\mingw\bin\wish84.exe D:\MSYS\1.0\git\bin\gitk

2. you change PATHEXT to include '.LNK'.

then gitk can be invoked with varying arguments from CMD. I've tested
this only on W2k. Point 2 looks hackish and dangerous to me.
