[arch-general] unit test generator for shared C/C++ library API

[Brendan Long]

I looked at the download to see how hard this would be, and all it is is
the license (GPL) and a perl script. Does the package just need to copy
the perl script to /usr/bin? If so, I've attached a PKGBUILD and I can
upload it to the AUR if it's correct.
