[Simon Peyton-Jones]

great. Can you just do the merge?  You are hereby appointed an "accredited wiki maintainer"!

| Hi everybody,
|
| all of you are right! :) The information I have added should definitely be
| close to where --extra is explained. However, the overlap is not that big:
| "Getting more packages" talks about getting a 'package of packages', all
| extras in one go. What I added is information about not getting
| everything, but exactly the few lib.s which you miss.
| (another question is, how many people would want that...)
|
| As a result: I suggest my paragraph should be put right below the
| explanation of darcs --extra, perhaps shortened accordingly.
| The only reason I made it a (tiny) new page is that I saw the extra
| section "contributed doc.", so I thought I should put my contribution here
| to be moved into more "official" pages by other wiki maintainers (i.e.
| Neil in this case) later.
