Intellisense documentation for Unity3D API in Visual Studio

By default, Unity3D 4.6 does not ship with XML documentation for the Unity API, therefore Visual Studio is unable to display documentation in Intellisense.

To fix this, download the file UnityEngine.xml (right-click, Save As…) and copy it to the following Unity folder:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Unity\Editor\Data\Managed\

(Path may be different if Unity was installed in another location than the default one)
