The pkgdesc should not be more than 80 characters. But if it is anyway,
using a \n char in the field will not fix anything!

Shortening it, will fix things. Not that it really matters, it is 82

If you simply think that bash collapses newlines, you're wrong.

```
pkgdesc="An extensible & universal comment vim-plugin that also
handles embedded filetypes"
echo "$pkgdesc"

```
