It would be really great if one could set DARCS_PAGER=/path/to/pager to be used
when reviewing patches interactively in record and whatsnew modes (and maybe
others).  Either an environment variable or a general --pager=/path/to/pager
option for darcs commands would make reviewing large patches much easier.  Thanks!

I second this suggestion.

Note that there do seem to be some commands that have a 'p' interactive command
for viewing patches in a pager.  So this might be not be hard to implement.

Right now there 'p' command is available only when viewing named patches.
Definitely not hard to implement.
