The documentation states in Section 3.1 that the default value of "prefix" is "/usr/local" on Unix. However, it doesn't specify what the prefix is on Windows. I found that the default value for prefix is: C:\Program Files\<package-name>\<compiler-name>-<compiler-version>. For example, version 1.0 of a package named "Foo" compiled with GHC 6.5 would have a default prefix of: C:\Program Files\Foo\ghc-6.5
The compiler version is there to avoid conflicts in the case when you
have multiple versions of GHC installed and the package is installed for each one. However, I don't think we currently include the compiler & version in the default $(libdir) on Unix, so whatever we do we should do it consistently.
Okay, that makes more sense to me. However, I think that executables should
go in "C:\Program Files\<package-name>-<package-version>\bin," not
