[ROOT] Do not install ROOT in "Program Files"

  Dear Rooters,
  I had twice to help rooters [Benoit.Horeau@cea.fr, and
Patrick.Jarry@cern.ch] because of the following problem concerning ROOT on
Windows:
 if ROOT is installed in the directory C:\Program Files,  ( which is
proposed by default ! )  one has problems after that with makefile, because
of the blank character in "Program Files". 
  A warning should be given to users on the ROOT download page, and you
should choose C:\  instead of C:\Program Files for the default directory
proposed.
  Thanks
