Better look for a safer alternative. What about this?
PKGDEST=$(source /etc/makepkg.conf && echo $PKGDEST)
That's actually more dangerous than the eval, since you are
essentially eval-ing the entire file.
Again you're right. Somehow I thought source only affected variables,
but actually it does also eval each line of the sourced file. Sorry for
the noise.
