It should be supported in general. At the moment there are two issues I
know of:

- hashed-storage has been updated but not uploaded to Hackage, so you
have to install it from the tree inside the darcs repo (in the
hashed-storage directory).

- I just pushed a patch to screened that fixes the build with
containers-0.4.*, as some conditional compilation is needed to use
Data.Map.Strict and that was missed when it was used from a new module.

Let us know if there are any problems other than these. We should
probably get hashed-storage onto hackage fairly soon, or just inline the
cabal file.
