Over on my blog, I've put up a proposal for changing the default layout of installed package pieces:

Thoughts?
+1 for most of the proposal. My only doubt is about executables currently in $prefix/bin, which in your scheme would end up in $prefix/$compiler/$pkgid/bin. I don't want programs I have installed via cabal suddenly to disappear when I uninstall an old compiler version. I might even want to uninstall the corresponding library associated with the executable, but have the executable continue to be available. Regards, Malcolm
