This is maybe a little too magical, but would it be possible to detect that situation at runtime? If `which sendmail` returns 0, then invoke sendmail; if not, dump out a patch bundle (and/or complain, saying "couldn't find a mailer: please configure one, or use darcs patch-bundle").

I guess it would be too hard to tell an installed-but-misconfigured mailer from a properly configured mailer, though, so maybe stupid-and-robust is the way to go.
