 libraries/Cabal/Cabal/Distribution/Simple/InstallDirs.hs:defaultInstallDirs
 returns "/usr/local"

 (and in same directory, Hugs.hs packageDbPaths includes
 "/usr/local/lib/hugs/packages", and cabal-install/bootstrap.sh forces
 PREFIX=/usr/local/.)

 "/usr/local" ordinarily does not exist on the platform I'm building for
 (Haiku), so it isn't a convenient default for cabal.  The `prefix' value
 from ghc build configure would work for this case.
