Version 0.8 will do (the current darcs 0.7.5 works with it already).

Version 0.6.4 may or may not, depending on how difficult it is to hack
it. If it does, it'll probably only work well enough to let you "cabal
install cabal-install" and will probably prompt you to do so frequently.
If not, then it'll just break with a better error message.
