This entire thing is basically just confusing. The obvious workaround is
to call cmake with -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local. It would be
nice if the behavior would be in line with real Unix makefiles. As a
middle ground, the default could still fallback on %ProgramFiles% if the
variables are not set.

Yes, that would work. So, we are talking about the default value for the install prefix. Of course this is different for different projects. However, maybe MSYS makefiles should default to /usr/local since that is more of a unix like environment. People would expect that the msys build does that.
