Would it be that hard to simply spit out the list of patches in some
canonical text format all at once?  That could be parsed, then a
controlling process could put up the GUI, then give commands to darcs
to actually do the work.  Emacs, Tcl/Tk, and Python all have modules
designed for exactly this kind of task.
