I would like to help out but I'll be away for the week-end. I could
remove/move some packages on Monday if there's still some cleanup to do.

PKGBUILD and their accompaning files should be submitted to unsupported
in a tarred directory named after the package. So the above should be:

 == Move to unsupported ==
    cd repo/category
    tar czf pkgname.tar.gz pkgname/PKGBUILD pkgname/any_other_files_to_be_included
    /upload to the AUR/
    cd pkgname
    cvs tag -d CURRENT
    cvs tag -d CURRENT-64
    (possibly testing as well if it's there)
    cvs rm -f *
    cvs commit

The second line could be simplified to:
    tar czf pkgname.tar.gz pkgname/*
but that would include the CVS directory. It's probably better not to have
that in the AUR submission  tarball.
