Thoughts? I'd be happy to help by supplying patches for various tools to normalize all this on some agreed upon layout. I admit that I'm a bit unclear where the directory choices are being made: Haskell Platform's build process, or GHC's? Cabal's defaults or cabal-install's? And then clearly parts of Haddock. Given the number of tools that need to agree, seems best that we hash it out (here or in the wiki) first, before making patches.
I just want to say that I think it's great that you're thinking about this. For Cabal the goal is to do the "Right Thing"tm on each platform, so if all you OSX people agree what that right thing is then I'm happy to adjust Cabal's defaults. Duncan
