[arch-general] Tuxguitar: documentation and SWT/GTK

[Alan E. Davis]

Thank you, LoneVVolf:

It is not clear to me how to obtain the PKGBUILD for Tuxguitar, since it is
distributed through pacman.  I tried to include an Archaudio repo, hoping
that another version would be available via AUR.  Alas!  No such luck.
