Ah, sorry.  Then it's definitely doable, and definitely something that
would improve the structure of Darcs.

Please do -- I've spent quite a bit of time working out how to script
Darcs, and it's all in there.  At some points it rather hackish, but
it does work.

I didn't mean to imply that -- intelligent critique is appreciated
even when it comes without patches.  I was just trying to indicate to
would-be contributors a number of projects that I think are worth
working on.
