-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 Installer should set the default cabal-install install directory to
 $PLATFORMDIR/cabal (or something similar). Users find having two different
 directories for "Haskell stuff" confusing:

 "OK. But given that I said "install Haskell" in *this* location, I sort
 of expected all my Haskell stuff to go there."
