----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 If you run the bootstrap for cabal-install and specify `--global`, the
 script ignores the PREFIX environment variable.  This means that it's
 impossible to install anywhere else besides `/usr/local/` using
 `--global`.

 Here is a patch.
