The Hoogle databases are expected to change very rarely - most users will install them when they install Hoogle. A small number will update them occasionally as the packages update. I'm using the Cabal datadir to store the databases, but does Cabal provide a more sensible place to put them? As a Windows user, I'm happy to defer to what Posix system users want.
