The main issue is that there isn't yet a Haskell library for darcs, not
to mention anything that would help foreign code talk to it.  This is
certainly one of our wishlist items.

There is are quite a few scripts and 3rd party programs (c.f.
TortoiseDarcs, trac-darcs, etc) that do the whole "run darcs and parse
its output" dance.  Perhaps you could get together and pool efforts
towards a library for that.  Maybe one day when darcs does get a proper
library of its own, you could just flip the code over to use that.
