What's the current status of getting darcs to build on Cygwin? The
Wiki notes¹:

,----
| I couldn't get Darcs to compile under Cygwin. Instead, I use the
| Windows executable along with a wrapper script that takes Cygwin
| paths and converts them to Windows paths before passing them to
| Darcs. (Note that Darcs will still use Windows paths when it does
| stuff like save your most-recently-pulled repo path.)

| BTW, has anybody had success building from source on Cygwin?

Though I don't know haskell, I'd like to help get darcs building on
Cygwin. Who else has tried recently?
