If you have underscores next to variable names, shouldn't you use {}
brackets? Because since underscores are accepted in bash variable
names, this situation can be ambiguous.
So use it like:
source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/bibcursed/${pkgname}_${pkgver}.tgz)
(And using brackets is generally a good idea, I think...)

Nevertheless, probably it worth checking out the replacement of \ on
AUR, I'll try when I have some time...
