There is also a well-maintained git mirror with several clones:

   http://gitorious.org/boost

it isn't darcs, but then again (iiuc, could be wrong) ghc itself is 
going to git for performance reasons.  Gitorious is nice as it makes it 
really easy to set up clones and trade commits.

Different topic:  I recently started playing with the erlang distributed 
database 'mnesia' which has a really, really nice database DSEL based on 
list comprehensions.  I'm very impressed.  It looks like one could put 
something like this together with proto.  You might check it out for 
design ideas.
