Thanks for the link. I followed through to a couple of other links that
broadly support your position:
[1]
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPFileSystem/Articles/LibraryDirectory.html
[2]
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPFileSystem/Articles/Domains.html
But, on reading [1], I also see "Although an application can use this
directory [/Library] to store internal data or temporary files, it is
not intended for storage of the application bundle itself or for user
data files. Application bundles belong in an appropriate /Applications
directory, while user data belongs in the user’s home directory."
This makes me question whether /Application might be the appropriate place?
/Applications is typically for GUI applications as opposed to
commandline programs. Though again, there are a few examples of
toolchains which cross that boundary and use /Applications (e.g., TeX
Live). Commandline apps which are deemed sufficiently GUI tend to go in
/Applications/Utilities which is another option (not that Haskell really
belongs there).
