Personally, I don't dislike hardcoded values.  Searching for _darcs to
change it is not really much harder than searching for darcsdir to change
it.  In the latter case, you have the advantage that you can make the
compiler do the searching, but the former is pretty easy.

I think I'd rather have this somewhere else than Global.  Global is the
module for ugly things like global variables, while this is a global
constant.

But I'll apply this anyhow, and the refactoring can later be refactored.
