3. For users of systems with no port tree, makepkg can ease package creation. However the resulting archive of the whole makepkg process is often useless.

For all situations, makepkg will usually be called several times. But no archive (the final package) is needed in any cases. The archive creation ends up being a waste of time and resource, especially for big applications and slow machines.

I do not like this. It means that if I specify both --install and --noarchive it does something, but that something depends on what order I specify them in. Just do INSTALL=1; That the end of this case statement, do a check if (( INSTALL && NOARCHIVE )) and do an error.
