Open Dylan Missing EXEs on Windows.

Some things that would make Open Dylan more accessible to first time
Windows users would be improvements to the installer.  I think the
missing steps are documented.
The default path for output is especially unfriendly.
It would be good to create the output EXEs somewhere a little less
obscure than
C:\Documents and Settings\Fred Bloggs\Application Data\Open-Dylan
The current location means that windows does not even search for them.

The default for generated .exe and .dll files in both unix and Windows
is <user-home-directory>/Open-Dylan/bin .  You can change your Windows
home directory by setting (if I recall correctly) HOMEDRIVE, HOMEPATH
and USERNAME.

I'm no Windows expert, but I assume you don't want them to be put in
with the Windows system .exes and .dlls, so what's a better place to
put them?

ps.  I'd personally like to see us use ~/opendylan instead of ~/Open-
Dylan.
