+NOTE: This is only used as the working directory if you
+are running from Visual Studio on MS Windows! If not, the
+working directory will be the one you ran minecraftcpp from.
+
+So for instance, if I ran it in a situation like
+
+/home/pi/mcpe/game $ ../minecraftcpp
+
+the working directory will be /home/pi/mcpe/game.
+
+If you run it from the shell on windows, the working directory
+will be the very one the executable is in.
