heroku/toolbelt — Issue #9: Toolbelt does not Create SSH Key on Windows

Following the instructions for toolbelt on Windows is inaccurate. Under the getting started section, it has:

$ heroku login
Enter your Heroku credentials.
Email: adam@example.com
Password:
Could not find an existing public key.
Would you like to generate one? [Yn]
Generating new SSH public key.
Uploading ssh public key /Users/adam/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

I get a very different set of output:

C:\Users\Administrator>heroku login
Enter your Heroku credentials.
Email: naaman@heroku.com
Password:
Authentication successful.

C:\Users\Administrator>

Obviously, the paths are different, but there's also no place that generates the SSH public key.

So, two things:
1) The heroku command should behave the same on Windows (unless that's insanely hard for some reason)
2) The instructions should match the OS I've chosen on toolbelt.heroku.com.
