Hi, I'm trying to use Magit with Vincent Goulet's nice distribution of 
Emacs ( http://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca/en/emacs/windows/ ), and I'm getting 
tripped up on installation.

The first trouble I had was that the "/share/emacs/site-lisp" and 
"/share/info" portions of the installation directories are hard-coded in 
the Makefile, so it's not possible to use the Makefile to install.  No 
biggie, I just did 'make all' to byte-compile everything, then added the 
following to my .emacs:

  (setq load-path (cons "C:/Users/kwilliams/Downloads/magit-1.1.1" 
load-path))
  (require 'magit)

But now when I attempt to run "magit-status" in a buffer under Git's 
control, I get the error "Searching for program: no such file or directory, 
git".  The git executable should be found just fine, as it's in my $PATH, 
but it's called "git.exe", could that be tripping it up?  You can *invoke* 
it as "git", without the .exe suffix, but you can't test for existence that 
way.
