Add note about .emacs.d Windows path

At least on my Windows 7 machine, `user-emacs-directory` prints `~/.emacs.d`, which is not really useful, since you also then have to realize that the tilde refers to the roaming appdata directory. I think this way of documenting would perhaps be more immediately useful. For probably almost all other platforms the tilde path will work just fine.

You'd do well to replace `~/.emacs.d` with the value of
`user-emacs-directory` for your OS. You can check the value by doing
`C-h v user-emacs-directory` inside Emacs.
Note that on Windows, the `.emacs.d` directory is usually located at `C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\.emacs.d`, and you should adjust the command appropriately.
