Thanks for this!  Here's my result from attempting to install it on
FreeBSD 8.1 with cabal 0.10.2:

$ cabal install darcs-beta --extra-lib-dirs=/usr/local/lib
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
darcs-beta-2.7.98.2 failed while unpacking the package. The exception was:
user error (File in tar archive is not in the expected directory
"darcs-beta-2.7.98.2")
