I've got a different opinion about that. When we specify a version requirement in a build system (like cabal) we are saying "our program requires that library version to work", not just "to build". If we know that a particular library version creates bug in darcs, we should not say that we support it. Windows is one of "supported" platforms for darcs; if we just require Haskeline 0.4, and some characters do not work anymore, that is a darcs bug, not a Haskeline one. Anyway, I think that Haskeline support for darcs in Windows is not coming in 2.2, so if Haskeline 0.4 creates no problems in darcs on POSIX, let it be :).
