[aur-general] Use of sudo in pkgbuild

[Dan Vratil]

According to the Makefile it seems, the cache can be disabled:

	@if test ! $(CACHE_DISABLE) ; then \
                echo -e "$(MAGENTA)updating:    $(SMOOTHBLUE)icon cache" ;\
                gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor;\
        fi


Try 
make DESTDIR=$pkgdir CACHE_DISABLE install 
or 
make DESTDIR=$pkgdir CACHE_DISABLE=true install

I don't know how exactly 'test' works, so I don't know which value is expected 
in $(CACHE_DISABLE)
