Ah, the problem with case sensitive file names. I've made a new
checkpoint in the darcs repo so if you use darcs get --partial then you
can avoid having to download and apply the problematic patch. So give
this another go:

darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/c2hs/

This was due to changes in the cabal api. In the darcs version of c2hs
I've removed all the custom code from Setup.hs and found better ways of
doing it. We need a new c2hs release, but I'm still somewhat in the
middle of improving the parser and I'd like to do at least a bit of
testing before making a release :-)
