Clarify that the Modules/ directory is in an unpacked source

distribution; this is not clear for Windows users.

......@@ -420,15 +420,15 @@ If you can't use dynamic loading, or if you want to make your module a
permanent part of the Python interpreter, you will have to change the
configuration setup and rebuild the interpreter. Luckily, this is
very simple: just place your file (\file{spammodule.c} for example) in
the \file{Modules} directory, add a line to the file
\file{Modules/Setup.local} describing your file:
the \file{Modules/} directory of an unpacked source distribution, add
a line to the file \file{Modules/Setup.local} describing your file:
\begin{verbatim}
spam spammodule.o
\end{verbatim}
and rebuild the interpreter by running \program{make} in the toplevel
directory. You can also run \program{make} in the \file{Modules}
directory. You can also run \program{make} in the \file{Modules/}
subdirectory, but then you must first rebuild \file{Makefile}
there by running `\program{make} Makefile'. (This is necessary each
time you change the \file{Setup} file.)
