On Windows there is no home ($HOME) so I have created a $COOT_HOME (*)
from where everything is read in. $COOT_HOME is the WinCoot installation
directory (i.e. the same as COOT_PREFIX in the batch file). So e.g.
".coot.py" can be there as is the .coot-preferences directory.
Note: a '.coot' file will be ignored here as scheme is currently not
enabled on windows. So you always have to use pythonic syntax.
Hope this helps,
