I can see the logic behind the decision, if lightning (as shipped with
TB3) is suggested to be turned off by upstream, then it's prudent to
turn it off in the distro's default build too.  Irritating for me,
yes, but I can live with it.

I put up a binary package based on a modified PKGBUILD (actually, the
file that needs modifying is mozconfig) at
http://therning.org/magnus_arch/thunderbird-3.0-3.1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
It's what I use and it works for me.  If you don't want to use the
binary directly I'll be happy to post the source package for you.
