I don't mind too much, but I don't really see the use of the script. IMO it
would be much better to have a script around which uses the ABS PKGBUILDs
and alternatively some AUR ones which are not in [community].

I have one laying around which builds the community package, and there is
one other on the forums IIRC. With a bit of work we could create a much more
usefull arch e17 script. These are just some thoughts so do with it whatever
you want :P
