[aur-general] Merging request

[Muflone]

Hello Xyne

I've already contacted the author and we're in the progress to rewrite 
this pkgbuild from scratch.
So please don't delete the package at this time, there's a chance to fix 
the sources to run properly from a system directory.

Best regards

Muflone
