Summary: better install instructions to pix_opencv

Initial Comment:
This is a tiny fix to the INSTALL file to show how to install the help files. More steps were are added so that the install solution is cleaner.

PS: I am also using this to practice submitting patches to the Pd community. Hopefully I will soon manage to get commit access and will stop bugging the tracker with tiny patches.

We might have to wait until bug #3390786 gets fixed. However, I vote to
include these instructions anyways as the bug must get fixed soon I
suppose.

Message:
Hello, the instructions in this patch are not goint to work well with the
current pd-extended, since it is not saving the new PATH into
~/.pdextended, seemingly because the path is from the pd-extended
installation directory and it is being handled differently. I propose to
tell the user to put the PATH straight to a directory with pix_opencv
*outside* pd-extended installation directory. I would say it is bug on its
own of pd-extended to filter out paths that are in its own installation
directory. However, I propose a solution which will work in this case as
well, but will not allow the user to cleanly  install pix_opencv to the
whole system. The attached patch is the new instructions I propose.

just letting you know the patch is against the pix_opencv external inside
the svn repository for Pd.
