I can't argue against cool and shiny. ;)

Aha. I think this would qualify as being different than doing  
darcs2bzr (which obviously doesn't have the chicken-and-egg problem).

I'm trying out darcs-fast-export now. It has a convenience script that  
is supposed to help you keep a target branch up-to-date with the  
source. I'll let you know how it goes. (The initial import is going to  
take about 23 minutes, at 164 patches/minute.)

If you're serious, sure I can do that.
