-d DOES call pacman, but you can modify makepkg in order to (a) not do
so; (b) work under another distro (that won't be too hard, because:)

And in terms of the "-d calls pacman" thing, here comes output from a
modded makepkg, with $PACMAN (variable holding pacman command)
replaced with 'echo PACMAN': every time.  Run under Arch, as I don't
have access to other distros. (yes, my shell server is running Arch.
No, it isn't my idea.  But it is awesome.)

And in case you ask: this is ruby-jekyll with a different name.  I had
to drop all the building, because my server doesn't have ruby.

If anyone from the makepkg team is reading, would you please mind:
(a) making less use of pacman;
(b) adding -v on lines 1292-1295 in order to inform us that the
compressors are still working?
