pacman -U supports downgrade...

I believe the intent was:

 1) go download the package versions of each file you want into a temporary
directory, change to that directory; and then

 2) as root (or use sudo)

 3) # pacman -U *.xz (in the temporary directory containing only the files to
be downgraded)

I don't want to put any words in Ralf's mouth, but I don't know of any other
way to do it :)
