Might it make sense to try and get the concept of "global" and "user" working in Windows? (It may already, but I noticed that the default seems to be global.")

I don't know what technical challenges there are, but the ApplicationData directory (or AppData, or whatever) seems like a good place to stick user cabal packages.

Not sure if this is also the case on Vista.

Is this the intended behavior?
