Many thanks Gordian for the tip, I already know (somehow) how to write a PKGBUILD.
I was asking if it's possible to add multiple package builds (in this case, the main program and the various solvers) in just one PKGBUILD and, if that's possible, how to do it. 
As PKGBUILDs have a Bash-like syntax, I suppose there's something like a "function" (Bash ones, I mean) in order to have different packages.
