Beware that, over the next few days, the darcs version will be a little
bit unstable until the recent re-arrangement of the libraries packages
settles down a bit.

The .hc bootstrapping files are not stored in the repository, because
they are generated files, not hand-modifiable.

If you want to create them, then (after at least a 'make basic'), you
can ask for 'make srcDist', which will also conveniently package up a
tarfile containing everything that is needed.
