DarcsUnderWine
Running darcs under wine
Zooko's darcs binary can do darcs --help, and darcs --init fine. But trying to pull patches gives us setCooked: failed (failed to set buffering)
Compiling darcs under wine
This likely does not work yet, but it could be worthwhile for non-Windows-using darcs developers to get a better idea what's going on under Windows.

- The trick to being able to start msys is to run the msys.bat file inside a cmd.exe instance running in wine. Assuming the default install paths for all components, it's possible to start an msys terminal in a single command, like this:{{{ wine cmd /c 'C:\msys\1.0\msys.bat' }}}
Troubleshooting
Couldn't figure out how to call GHC.Handle.openFd!- unknown
- Interesting note: hello world doesn't work under MSYS! (neither under rxvt nor under plain sh, neither in Haskell nor C) (but it does under cmd.exe)
