Hey Daniel,
Thanks alot.  In case you aren't aware, we _do_ have a PKGBUILD man
page: http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/doc/PKGBUILD.8?rev=HEAD&cvsroot=Pacman&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

However, I think you are correct with the section 5 specification.  Reference:
   Section 5: File format descriptions, e.g. /etc/passwd.
   Section 8: System administration tools that only root can execute.

I will merge some of your changes, as I think I like them.  However, I
do like the PKGBUILD example at the top of the file.

Thanks again
