I agree with this. But libdarcs is a longer-term solution.
I think the short-term solution of TortoiseDarcs
should be even a higher priority. It can always be
retrofitted to use libdarcs later on.

Perhaps I'm biased, though. The life or death of darcs at my
company depends on how fast TortoiseDarcs, or some other
Windows integration - not tied to either the command line or
an IDE - materializes.

Another high priority should be darcs distributed as
a standard installation wizard EXE for Windows.
Ditto for the Mac, but that's currently a smaller market.

(All this said by someone who has not owned a
Windows computer for several years.)

Thanks,
