Windows environment variables needed for xMaxima and wxMaxima

Hi Matt,

what is the reason that you don't want to use the installer to install Maxima? The installer 
works perfectly. Since version 5.9.0 I install and uninstall without any problems on Windows 
2k and XP. Also a parallel installation of different Maxima versions is possible.
