docs for "Windows HOME" fail to mention registry

[Eric Hanchrow]

(info "(emacs)MS-Windows Registry") describes how Emacs consults the
Windows registry to find various information that, on *nix, would have
been gotten from the environment.  Examples are the user's HOME
directory, the EMACSDATA directory, and others.

The problem is that (info "(emacs)Windows HOME") doesn't refer to that
node, and, by not mentioning the registry, implies that the registry
is never consulted, when in fact it is.

In GNU Emacs 22.1.50.5 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
 of 2007-07-14 on debian
configured using `configure  '--enable-maintainer-mode''

A hacker would consider being asked to write
        add x to y giving z
instead of
        z = x+y
as something between an insult to his intelligence and a sin against God.
