Add directions to README for Windows Users

For example, if someone is using Git Bash for Windows, they will not have the ability to run the make command.
This command could be replaced by a few mkdir and a cp.

I was personally able to figure it out on my own, but it would be nice if the commands were simply in the README.

I have run into the same issue, however have not been able to fix it...

@RoryMiley you can do it something like this-

Make a new directory like ~/.local/bin with the command mkdir ~/.local && mkdir ~/.local/bin
cp the bashmarks.sh file into that directory with the command cp bashmarks.sh ~/.local/bin
Add the code source ~/.local/bin/bashmarks.sh into your bash profile.

So that script will get run every time you open your shell.
