the only issue is that darcsweb requires python2.4 (or 2.3, i don't
remeber exactly) and we've got 2.1.3 on cl.net. currently i'm not sure
what the status of cl.net (if erik has already started the
reinstall/setup he mentioned or net) and i'm not sure if it's worth
the effort to upgrade python now. erik?
