WinCoot 0.6

WinCoot is a build of Coot (using MinGW and GTK) which runs native under Windows (without cygwin emulation).

WinCoot doesn't need to set any environment variables any more but instead uses a .bat file which sets these in runtime. However WinCoot uses 2 directories (environment variables) which could/should be used individually by the user. These are COOT_HOME, which hosts the .coot.py file and .coot-preferences directory, and COOT_BACKUP_DIR, where intermediate, backup pdb files are stored. For a multi-user Windows computer the Administrator might want to change these environment variables in the runwincoot.bat file (by default in C:/yourWinCoot) for every individual user (you obviously need a runwincoot.bat file for every user).
