Ok, I'll use Program Files\Haskell and install GHC to Program
Files\Haskell\GHC\ghc-$VERSION.

I think it is cleaner to use separate dirs. For example, if the
user wants to use both GHC 6.8 and 6.10, she can install 6.8 to
Program Files\Haskell\GHC\ghc-6.8.
(Hmm, I just thought about what happens if we want to install two
versions of the Haskell Platform... Perhaps it's better to use
Program Files\Haskell Platform\2009.0.0 and do not touch Program
Files\Haskell)
> We should not install ghc-paths.
Ok.

Or Haskell Platform\2009.0.0, as Bulat suggested. The current
behaviour is consistent with the GHC installer.
