-	~/.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)
+ The root of your HexChat config is:
+
+ * Windows: %APPDATA%\HexChat
