I can't help with this.  Too much eviction etc.  Please just put the 
generated HTML pages in the chicken/html directory of the Darcs 
repository, so that dist.cmake can find them, and call it done.  The 
current CMake build is not designed to download and install eggs and 
suck things off the wiki.  If you want to implement that functionality 
yourself, fine; it's going to cost you development and testing time.
