As you point out, that would be related to
  http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1569 

Benchmarking for our purposes is a little bit more involved than that
since we may want to benchmark multiple versions of Darcs.  We also have
the problem of benchmarks taking a very long time to run and of wanting
to collect benchmarks incrementally, reporting them all in one go.

Certainly still worth looking into.

Whoops!  Sorry, I should have thought of that when I put the flag into
the Cabal file.  I've now uploaded a new version of darcs-benchmark,
so hopefully if you cabal update and cabal install darcs-benchmark you
should have a working darcs-benchmark.
