[arch-general] Tool to create mtree

When looking at the internals of an Arch package I learned about the
mtree format.  However, I didn't find any tool to create an mtree file
myself.

Is it really the case that `makepkg` and `pacman` handle mtree files
internally, and that Arch completely lacks a tool for working with
mtree files?

(Yes, I've already found the AUR package at
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mtree/)
