I confirmed yesterday that the Cabal build doesn't work with the Cabal
1.4 that shipped with GHC 6.8 (it can't find Distribution.Text).  Am I
correct in thinking that supporting Cabal 1.4 is non-trivial and not
worth the effort?

I also get the above error a lot.  Incidentally, Context.hs also fails
to compile if you accidentally include ^[ control characters in your
patch descriptions (e.g. DARCS_DO_COLOR_LINES=True darcs rollback --edit).
