On Unix leave $(libdir)/hexchat/plugins for plugin packagers, on Windows
prevent users from modifying Program Files by ignoring everything except
bundled plugins

 Autoloading Scripts and Plugins
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- HexChat automatically loads, at startup:
+ The root of your HexChat config is:
 
-	~/.config/hexchat/scripts/*.lua Lua scripts
-	~/.config/hexchat/scripts/*.pl Perl scripts
-	~/.config/hexchat/scripts/*.py Python scripts
-	~/.config/hexchat/scripts/*.tcl Tcl scripts
-	~/.config/hexchat/*.so Plugins
-	$(libdir)/hexchat/plugins/*.so plugins
-	(this usually translates to /usr/lib/hexchat/plugins/*.so)
+ * Windows: %APPDATA%\HexChat
+ * Unix: ~/.config/hexchat
+
+ Referred to as <config> from now. HexChat automatically loads, at startup:
+
+ * <config>/addons/*.lua Lua scripts
+ * <config>/addons/*.pl Perl scripts
+ * <config>/addons/*.py Python scripts
+ * <config>/addons/*.tcl Tcl scripts
+ * <config>/addons/*.dll Plugins (Windows)
+ * <config>/addons/*.so Plugins (Unix)
