Note that for data files like the .ghci file it's probably better to use getAppUserDataDirectory "ghci" which will return $HOME/.ghci on unix systems and "C:/Documents And Settings/user/Application Data/ghci" on Windows.
I've added a proposal and a patch to Trac (http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1987).
I'd like to suggest a slight change to this. Currently we put the user package database in <appdata>\ghc\<arch>-<os>-<ghcversion>\package.conf so perhaps the GHCi startup file should be <appdata>\ghc\ghci.cfg To keep all the GHC-related settings together in <appdata>\ghc. Additionally, I propose we make no changes to what happens on Unix, and no changes to getHomeDirectory. Cheers, Simon
