I just downloaded the repository, I'll check it this weekend.

By the way, I think C:\Documents and Settings\hoijarvi\Application Data\ 
is the right path for darcs\boring, but wrong for darcs\cache. It should 
be in C:\Documents and Settings\hoijarvi\Local Settings\Application Data\.

Local Settings\Application Data\. are computer specific, Application 
Data\ is for roaming users.

 From system call SHGetFolderPath:

CSIDL_APPDATA (0x001a)
Version 4.71. The file system directory that serves as a common 
repository for application-specific data. A typical path is C:\Documents 
and Settings\username\Application Data. This CSIDL is supported by the 
redistributable Shfolder.dll for systems that do not have the Microsoft 
Internet Explorer 4.0 integrated Shell installed.

CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA (0x001c)
Version 5.0. The file system directory that serves as a data repository 
for local (nonroaming) applications. A typical path is C:\Documents and 
Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data.

I'll check this out too.
