Cygwin's "c:\cygwin" contains AN ENTIRE (virtual) FILESYSTEM. I don't 
know about you, but *I* sure don't want that sort of thing under 
"Program Files" (besides which, POSIX-ish systems don't really 
appreciate spaces in file/path names).

Here's some food for thought: the default installation path for SFU is 
"%WINDIR%\SUA", and that is because it is a Windows component. Before it 
was a Windows component, it was "C:\SFU". Do you really think Microsoft 
did this because they were "following Cygwin's lead"? Or maybe they had 
a more compelling/logical reason for violating /their/ policy in this 
instance?

I would be surprised if defaulting to "C:\Program Files\Cygwin") didn't 
cause any problems.
