The default installation location in Jython installer
in Windows is "C:\Documents and
Settings\<current_user>\jython<version>". In my opinion
this is pretty weird place and can also be a bit
problematic because not all scripts and programs handle
spaces in the path that well. Also if you want to call
Jython from command line with the full path your
commands get rather long.
In my opinion Jython could, by default, be installed
into c: root similarly as Python (e.g. c:\Jython22a1).
Tested with Jython 2.2a1 installer and also with the
latest HEAD installer from [1] provided by Oti.

Should/could this be fixed for 2.2 final? I hope new release gives Jython new users and having a weird default installation location is not the best first impression to give.
Things are even worse if you install Jython to the default location because only launching it requires a long command. You can of course put the installation directory into into PATH (but even that is nicer when the path to the directory is short). Hmm, actually the installer could update PATH accordingly -- I'll submit a new issue about that.

Great that this is fixed! A snapshot build with this fix would be nice. I checked [1] but latest was for r3005.

PS: The table in [1] could perhaps grow a new column with date.
