Agreed, having gone through this debate awhile ago.  I would further
note that MinGW doesn't require MSYS, and that one would of course
expect %ProgramFiles% as the default in that case.  Adding MSYS
doesn't change the compiler being used, and the MSYS philosophy is as
Bill said.  So using %ProgramFiles% would make sense there too.


Well, if you are not using MSYS with MinGW you expect MinGW to basically NOT be able do any installs. That would be the responsibility of something like DevC++ or the makefile you create.

Either way, it would also be good if CMake did make a distinction about itself. I really do not like the idea of MinGW by default overwriting my (then stable) MSVC version. I just lost half a day trying to restore to a stable build.
