Ok, so $(ProgramFiles) is determined by the registry. Taking into account comments so far, I think we have:
prefix = $(ProgramFiles)\Haskell\$(PackageName)-$(Version) libdir = $(prefix)\$(Compiler)-$(Version) bindir = $(prefix)\bin
these are only defaults - users & packagers are free to change them.
Sound reasonable?
Sounds fine to me.
Slight modification after Brian's comments: if the package is an executable, then prefix = $(ProgramFiles)\$(PackageName)-$(Version) (i.e. only libraries on under $(ProgramFiles)\Haskell). Cheers, Simon

The default value of $(prefix) under Unix recently silently changed from /usr/local to /usr/local/$(Compiler)-$(Version). I'm not sure that's the right thing: it's incompatible with the FHS and with autoconf, and puts executables in a place that's not on my path.
