afair, ghc installs any version to "program files/ghc", successfully
overwriting previous one. if we want to support multiple ghc versions
installation, we shouldn't duplicate this behavior.

installing into "program files/haskell/ghc-x.y.z" looks good for me -
everything HP-related will be in the same dir, multiple HP versions can
coexist

btw, HP installer creates "Start menu/Haskell Platform/6.10.2" menu. may
be it should be "Start menu/Haskell Platform/2009.0.0"?
