Here's Thomas Schwinge unfinished darcs support for ikiwiki.

(Finishing this has been suggested as a [[soc]] project.)

> I haven't been working on this for months and also won't in the near
> future.  Feel free to use what I have done so
> far and bring it into an usable state!  Also, feel free to contact me
>  if there are questions.
