It's written in Objective-C/Cocoa. Currently it just uses regexps to  
get information out of patches. The Spotlight importer talks to all  
the Spotlight stuff, which isn't on other platforms, and so would be  
hard/irrelevant to port. As for the (pending) UI, I imagine it  
wouldn't be hard to port it over to GNUstep, which is available for  
Linux, Windows, etc.

Is there documentation anywhere about darcs' patch format? So far  
I've just been looking at some patches in my own repositories, but  
that's hardly "robust".
