A while back I rewrote patchwork to cater to darcs and Juliusz's needs.
It looks pretty much the same, but it knows about darcs bundles and
parses them out.  Most of the web frontend is done.  What's left is code
that detects anomalies between how patches are marked on the webpage
versus if they are in the various branches.  Also, Juliusz is going to
work on some mail client scripts so he mark patches while going through
emails.

Yeah.  In _parse_entity in PatchParser.rm you'll see code to match
text/x-patch.  You'll also want to match against 'text/x-darcs-patch'
here.
