Sorry for the very late reply, I got caught up working on some other 
things. --enable-antimemoize seemed to do the trick (along with 
possibly a clean CVS checkout?). So now I'm able to get my wxWidgets 
darcs repository on my Windows machine successfully. However, now I'm 
stuck with a separate problem, which is a pretty significant one - the 
lack of newline conversion. ;-/ The wxWidgets MSVC project files need 
to have Windows newlines, but since I created the darcs repository on 
OS X, it uses Unix newlines instead. As a result, MSVC won't load the 
project files because they have the "wrong" newlines.

Is it possible to have darcs do newline conversion? (I googled and saw 
some discussion on it, but nothing that suggests there's an option for 
it now.)

Thanks,

Kevin
