$PROGRAM_FILES$ is what ever path your system tells you when asked with the right Win32 API call? (On my german system that would be C:\Programme)
Unfortunately, this will mean "C:\Program Files" by default on English systems; paths with spaces should IMHO definitely be avoided. Other localized versions of Windows may have a similar problem.
Even for libraries this is IMHO the only "right" location to install too per default.
Disagree. %PROGRAMFILES% is intended for program files. There is no "correct" location for development files on Windows. Myself, I have a "C:\src" directory where all development takes place. (I agree with you otherwise: Littering the root with directories is Not Nice.)
