When working on Windows it isn't clear how to
start JigAdmin.

Step three in the README file says:

>3) Run the server:
>
>     On Windows
>       java w3c.jigsaw.http.httpd -root <instdir>\Jigsaw\Jigsaw
>     On UNIX
>       java w3c.jigsaw.Main -root <instdir>/Jigsaw/Jigsaw

What the user doesn't know at this point is that
w3c.jigsaw.Main starts up TWO servers - the web
server and the administration server.
w3c.jigsaw.http.httpd starts the web server only.
So when the user gets to Overview.html and tries
to start JigAdmin his efforts will be futile. Why
does the README not instruct the user to start Main
regardless of the platform?
