oops! Thanks for the input.

If you have "cabal-install" on your system, that is the "cabal" executable, you
should be able to run:
$ cabal configure
$ cabal build
$ cabal install
and obtain working ~/.cabal/bin/darcs. Alternatively, if you don't have
cabal-intsall, you should be able to say:
$ runghc ./Setup.lhs configure
$ runghc ./Setup.lhs build
$ runghc ./Setup.lhs install
but this will likely try a system-wide install. If you omit the install step,
you should find a darcs executable under dist/build/darcs/ -- you can copy it
somewhere or just run it from there.
I'll try to look around for a generic cabal INSTALL file that we could
distribute with darcs. Maybe
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Cabal/How_to_install_a_Cabal_package would
be a good starting point?
Yours,
Petr.
