[nhc-bugs] Old nhc98 repository

Hi

I got a bit nostalgic and decided to try to install nhc98, but I'm 
afraid at least the download instructions and the start script is out of 
date.
Both the documentation and the start script uses --partial, and that 
option does not exist in the darcs I got when I installed one today from 
Ubuntu Software Center (darcs 2.7.99.1). The download seems to work when 
I removed --partial, but now darcs complains.

   _______   Sorry for the wait! The repository you are fetching is

If darcs 2.4.4 or later is available on the machine with the 
repositories then

darcs optimize --upgrade

is supposed to fix this problem.
