Hi Simon

Coming back to this old thread just to say that with the current version of 
the darcs home page the problem has disappeared.

Again, many thanks for this work, the latest version is even better: links 
to the wiki, nicely grouped, quick install instructions, a very good blurb, 
it's almost perfect.

Cheers
Ben
