<http://khjk.org/~pesco/ikiwiki-darcs/> (now a darcs repo)

I've taken all the good stuff from the above (now deleted --[[Joey]]) and added the missing hooks. The code hasn't seen a lot of testing, so some bugs are likely yet to surface. Also, I'm not experienced with perl and don't know where I should have used the function `possibly_foolish_untaint`.

> Review of this one:
> 
> * Should use tab indentation. (fixed)
> * `rcs_getctime` should not need to use a ctime cache (such a cache should 
>   also not be named `.ikiwiki.ctimes`). `rcs_getctime` is run exactly
>   once per page, ever, and the data is cached in ikiwiki's index. (fixed)
> * I doubt that ENV{DARCS} will be available, since the wrapper clobbers> the entire
>   environment. I'd say remove that. (fixed)
> * I don't understand what `darcs_info` is doing, but it seems to be
>   parsing xml with a regexp?
> * Looks like `rcs_commit` needs a few improvements, as marked TODO
> * `rcs_remove` just calls unlink? Does darcs record notice the file was removed
>    and automatically commit the removal?
> * Is the the darcs info in [[rcs/details]] still up-to-date re this version? (fixed)
> --[[Joey]]

> Update:
>
> I think I've addressed all of the above except for the XML parsing in `darcs_info`.
> The function determines the md5 hash of the last patch the given file appears in.
> That's indeed being done with regexps but my Perl isn't good enough for a quick recode
> right now.

> As for the darcs info in [[rcs/details]], it does not accurately describe the way
> this version works. It's similar, but the details differ slightly.
> You could copy my description above to replace it.

I've finally merged this into ikiwiki master. The plugin looks quite
complete, with only the new `rcs_receive` hook missing, and I
hope it works as good as it looks. :) If anyone wants to work on improving
it, there are some TODOs as mentioned above that could still be improved.
