Directory bug on Windows

[Brian Rice]

As the README says, when you download a Slate distro, run "make get- 
alpha" to get the proper images. Using alpha itself will just get you  
the recorded image, and it wastes quite a bit of space for us to  
store every image pair in version history.

and run the makefile rule, and then try it.
