I'd be fine with b4n@40a2527. My previous attempt was motivated by making as few changes to the existing Windows layout as necessary. However, changing the doc path to be the same as on non-Windows, seems way cleaner and removes even special code. So yes, let's go for it.

Rationale behind the original reason for having "doc" on Windows on the top-level installation directory: I'd be happy if I could remember exactly :). Most probably I made this to let users find the documentation instantly by checking the installation directory.
Today I think this is not so necessary as users can easily open the documentation from within Geany using Help->Help and we also even put a clickable link to the documentation in the installation directory. These two things should be easy enough for the user, actually.

@b4n would you like to commit b4n@40a2527 directly? I just tested it and docs are properly installed on Windows and can be opened from within Geany.
I didn't test the NSIS changes yet but will do this as my next step is creating and testing the installer.
Once the docdir change is committed in Geany, I'll update geany/geany-plugins#376 to make this change also for G-P.

Thanks for your input and work!
