How about just C:\Program Files\Haskell\$datasubdir

Since you don't care, how about:
$prefix\doc\$pkgid\
eg
C:\Program Files\Haskell\doc\foo-1.0\

It will at least be relative to prefix unlike the datadir which is fixed
for libs.

As for UI, that's the job of a windows installer for a package imho and
something like GUIHaskell can use ghc-pkg to find where the docs were
installed (if at all). Sadly there's nothing similar for hugs.

I've attached a patch with my suggestion. Someone who cares about
Windows should test and apply it, or make a better patch.

Actually, said Windows dev would also need to update the user guide to
say what the default paths are and then close this bug:

[Change installation layout on Windows slightly
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20070824163141
 Make Haskell part of the default $prefix and make docs relative
 to $prefix rather than $datadir which is fixed for libs.
 Make the default fixed lib $datadir be Program Files\Haskell rather
 than Common Files.

Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20070823212946
 It's the same format as the build-depends, eg:

 During the configure step we try to configure the listed programs and
 if a version range is specified then we check that it is satisfied.

[Hack to supress a warning when building Cabal
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20070823212645
 Normally we'd warn if using a new format cabal file and a cabal-version >= 1.2
 field is not specified in the cabal file. However we cannot do this for cabal
 itself or we'd not be able to bootstrap. So we just supress the warning for
 the package "Cabal".

[Wrap the configure help text program list and rename the prog arg templates
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20070823193245

 bits like ARGS, PATH etc are upper case contractions. So it's more consistent.

 The configure help text look slightly less terrible now, though we've still
 got too many long flags and short flags with long arg names so there's not
 really enough width for the description so it wraps in too many cases.

[Don't include the massive list of --with-prog --prog-args flags in help text
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20070823155910

 list the programs that the flags apply to.
 This still needs to be properly word wrapped to fit in 80 cols (as does the
 rest of the help text).

Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20070817033841
 Also make the follow on changes to everything that uses Program.
 The notion of a program is now split into the abstract notion of a program
 that we know about and might be able to configure, and a configured program
 that we can actually run. The ProgramConfiguration database is similarly
 split. We still keep user-supplied loation and arguments and use them when
 we configure programs. The abstract Program now has functions to search for
 the program on the system and for finding the version number. This allows
 for more generic configuration of programs.

 New types for the collection of installation directory templates and a

 The templates are represented with a PathTemplate adt.
 Dir templates can now be relative to each other, eg $htmldir to $docdir
 Default install dir templates are now specified compactly in one place.
 Adding new dirs should be considerably simpler than previously.
 This patch should not actualy change where anything is installed.

 It's just a list of supported extensions and the corresponding compiler flags.
 For most compilers this is currently just a static list. For ghc 6.7 and above
 we query ghc to find the list of language extensions it supports.
 In each case the code has moved out into the compiler-specific modules and the
 core code treats it generically.
 The extensionsToFlags function has been split into two:
 extensionsToFlags which now returns the flags for the supported extensions and
 unsupportedExtensions which does what it says it does. This is because the two
 roles of the previous function were always used separately, never together.

 So now --hyperlink-source controles wether or not we run hscolour and

 be used to override the css file that hscolour uses.
 Also, the new flag --css can override the css file that haddock uses.

Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20070723180602
 Some minor changes due to changes since the hscolour patch was written.
 Make it work with haddock-0.8 by using %{MODULE} rather than %{FILE}
 and generate output file names to match (ie not using the original file
 extension, just using the module name for the output file).
