I'm sorry -- this is my fault.  Tahoe v0.6.1 used a development tool  
named "setuptools-darcs-plugin", and I later agreed with the authors  
of other revision control tool plugins that we would rename them all  
to "setuptools-$REVCTRLTOOL", so I renamed mine to "setuptools-darcs".

So now it doesn't get found during install.

You can edit setup.py and change the name of the plugin from  
"setuptools-darcs-plugin" to "setuptools-darcs", or you can actually  
remove it since it is required only if you want to produce new  
packages from your current source tree -- it isn't needed just to  
build or install.

Meanwhile, I will see if I can upload a new plugin that cause this to  
work without someone needing to edit their Tahoe v0.6.1 setup.

Regards,

Zooko
