For all vcs prototypes, we currently create a temporary build directory. However, we do not delete it after we are done creating the package. This wastes disk space.
We already do a "rm -rf" on the build directories every time after we do a checkout anyway, so this patch doesn't really change anything.
Big -1 from me. This prevents repackaging.

Hmm, I am apparently not knowledgeable at all in what "repackaging" means. Since this is the first in the series of 6 patches, I'll have to do a rebase (taking into account your other comments). I'm thinking of keeping this patch, but just as a comment for all the thousands of AUR packagers who blindly use the prototype without taking into account their particular needs. Any objections?
