This sounds like it would map pretty well to:
/opt/<package>/ -> c:\Program Files\<package>\ (CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES)
/var/opt/<package>/ -> C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local
Settings\Application Data\<package>\ (CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA)
/etc/opt/<package>/ -> c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\<package>\ (CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA)
Hmmm... that /var one doesn't feel right....
