It's GHC *ports* that are hard. GHC is a full-bore compiler, not a
C generator like Chicken, so if you are trying to port to a new
architecture you wind up writing a new set of code-generator tables.
You can also compile to C, but there are compromises.

My experience is quite otherwise: the vast majority of Unix builds
work fine on Unix, and most of them even work fine on Cygwin as well.

As long as no one is committing via Subversion, that isn't really a
problem. The Subversion repository is just a read-only view of the
Darcs one that people can use to check out new versions as needed.

There isn't. Subversion isn't and wasn't meant to be: it is designed
for a centralized repository only. Darcs allows fully distributed
repository variants.
