[WM] Installation of WebMake on Windows

[John Sequeira]

On unix systems... WebMake uses the ~/.webmake/ directory to set up a 
cache.  In Windows,  this usually translates to  $HOME/.webmake where 
$HOME is an environmental variable

On your system,  it's probably not finding a value for "HOME" (I'd have 
to look in the code for '.webmake' to be sure)

Can you set this environmental variable before running the code?  try 
HOME=C:\ or C:\TEMP\ or something like that.

Another option might be to try running it under cygwin ... then home 
will be defined.
