Hi,

I wanted to build darcs from source and I have a few remarks:

1) The documentation says `cabal install darcs` but it's `cabal install
exe:darcs` instead

2) The default cabal files fail to compile with
   cabal: filepath wildcard 'release/distributed-version' does not match
   any files.
I had to edit the "release-data" section :

   -- release data
-  release/distributed-version
-  release/distributed-context
+  release/gen-version-info.hs

A patch with my changes have been submitted to patches at darcs.net.
Of course, if I missed something, please tell me !

3) What's the difference betwen darcs.net and darcs.net/screened ?

Thanks,
