Agreed, having gone through this debate awhile ago. I would further note that MinGW doesn't require MSYS, and that one would of course expect %ProgramFiles% as the default in that case. Adding MSYS doesn't change the compiler being used, and the MSYS philosophy is as Bill said. So using %ProgramFiles% would make sense there too.
