Perhaps we could use _darcs/prefs/defaultrepo to add to the name?
"1.0.2 from http://abridgegame.org/repos/darcs"
"1.0.2 from http://abridgegame.org/repos/darcs-unstable"
This could be done by configure. It's not precise, but one can get precise
from the --exact-version. The only catch is that _darcs/prefs/defaultrepo
is whatever repo you last pulled from (or sent to), which may not be quite
what you want.
