[aur-general] Promoting use of .AURINFO

It may sound like two dumb or unrelated ideas, but I figure they would
become relevant to the discussion at one point anyway. So, let's look
at the question we're avoiding all the time: What is the problem with
PKGBUILDs? That it's not limited to a subset of sh?

There seem to be regularly efforts appearing and disappearing to clean
that mess up on the initial side of the problem, which could render
this .AURINFO / .SRCINFO ballet unnecessary.

How about creating a parseable and functionally equivalent
"PKGBUILD.gen" from PKGBUILD?

cheers!
