The darcs code is a bit different in that the LaTeX "comments" are
actually the user's manual (for the most part).  The code is normally
hidden when you compile the pdf.  To see the code, you can apply the
attached darcs patch.  (You could also do it by hand; it's just a
couple of changes).

When you run make manual/darcs.ps, you will have a ps file that is
simultaneously the darcs manual, and various bits of darcs code
interspersed and highlighted in blue.

(This is > 300 pages of literate darcs, mind you.  Maybe just browsing
it in a text editor is simpler)
