I think it's too late for that, but we should definitely try to do
this in the context of Haskell.org

darcs GUI is a very big job... maybe not so good for a soc project
(well, who knows!)

Yeah, sorry, I never finished writing that mail to wxhaskell-users I
was planning.  We could put it as a subpage on the WxHaskell page on
Haskell wiki.

One thing which might be good is if we could get the Cairo stuff as a
separate package shared by gtk2hs and wxhaskell (and if wxhaskell had
Cairo support too).  Not sure what this would entail.  Maybe we should
ask our friends at gtk2hs for advice.
