I volunteer to help test on MacOS X

Why don't we make the switch to darcs while we're at it?  Revision
control may be the least of our worries, but I think that darcs would
have been helpful specifically for our case  (multiple
revisions of my Unicode patch, Shelarcy's patches for Windows stuff,
Mac Makefile stuff, the new DB-related issues).

Keeping track of patch-on-patch-on-patch has gottten to be tricky.
Having a truly patch-oriented system would
1. make it easier for outsiders to submit modifications
2. make us more resistant to the busy-ness of our project leaders

So, should we go ahead and do this? =20

Would hackage be the place to host this? =20

How do we go about getting something set up on hackage?

I really don't mean to evangelise, but I was just getting sick of
keeping track of patches by hand.
