PR Summary

This is a small update on the install instructions for Windows.

For newer versions of conda the environment variable %CONDA_DEFAULT_ENV% points to the name of the environment, not the path. Instead %CONDA_PREFIX% points to the path which has to be used for copying the files during the build.

This change is correctly reflected in the build_alllocal.cmd

set LIBRARY_LIB=%CONDA_PREFIX%\Library\lib

but the documentation needs to be updated as well; at least if we do not want people to spend an hour trying to figure out what's wrong with their built like I just did.
