At the absolute minimum, the install target should allow specifying an alternative target. And the wininst installer needs to offer the user a choice of install directory.
wininst once had such an option. I removed it because of Greg's suggestion:
The developer can override it by using the 'extra_path' option to the setup function.
The developer can, but the end user who is installing the package can't. (Can he? I haven't actually looked, but this is how I read the messages...) Paul
