Looks fine. But we either need to get makepkg completely split up, or this needs to be bash based.
The perl script is just a prototype, I'm sure it isn't too complicated to rewrite in awk (for someone with awk experience).
Another note: Lukas suggested on IRC that we could also just use an existing macro tool such as m4. I didn't think about it before, but I feel like an inline solution that just updates a simple file is better suited for PKGBUILDS since they tend to be rather small and can be viewed more easily if everything is inlined. Any other opinions here?
Can m4 update? It is also a pain with escaping from memory.
Didn't manage to google anything about m4 being able to update, so I guess it can't. I remember having read something about the escaping pain, but I don't know any more. Still waiting for Dave's reply on all those questions here
