Although I could apply this with `am -3` I'm NACK'ing this right
now because...

git-gui is its own project with its own Makefile.  Junio includes
it in git.git to help widen its audience, and because it is quite
portable and easy for him to include.   In the future git-gui will
become a proper subproject of git.git.

If you want to define libdir in git's toplevel Makefile *and*
that definition is being exported down into git-gui's Makefile
then I think git's toplevel Makefile should arrange for it to
not export libdir down into git-gui.

Of course one has to wonder if that is even possible in GNU make.
I'm not a GNU make expert so I don't really know.
