Um...  you need to explain the benifits for us to see any...  You 
mention KISS but adding extra functions to PKBUILDs without a clear 
need/reason it not KISS.  I'm sure split packaging can be improved, but 
we need actual specifics and not vague ideas.

Also, gcc and gcc-libs will be converted to a split package when I next 
build the toolchain (probably with the binutils-2.20 release).  But 
their build steps are essentially identical so will work perfectly under 
the one build finction framework.  So I have no idea why this justifies 
your suggestion.

Finally, take the not to subtle hint and do not top post on the mailing 
lists.  I do not care how good you next respose is, I will not read it 
if it is a top post.
