You can regularly refer to the prototypes in /usr/share/pacman. Those 
have $srcdir and $pkgdir now (which are also necessary for the split 
package building in pacman 3.3). Other than that, I only noticed because 
the other devs started using them instead of $startdir.

There is one reason to refer to $startdir, maybe we should think about 
that: The .install file is never included in source=(), but we sometimes 
sed stuff inside it, refering to $startdir.
