In darcs record, if the user does not have an address set, we ask them for it. We also suggest (as per issue1405) a place where they can set this as a global default (~/darcs/author) but that default is wrong under Windows. It should probably be something like %APP_DATA%/darcs/author instead. It could be worth looking into refactoring the path to the user global defaults directory.

IMO, this just needs that docstring to contain a compile-time conditional in it.
