Ah yes, I see. I think you don't really have the choice before the trans is
initialized (before alpm_trans_init call). You have to use config->flags.
But in the part you edited, the trans is already initialized, so I guess we
can use both there, without any differences. Since alpm_trans_get_flags is
already used in that part, it's probably fine to use that.

The lines are broken again :(

I believe the policy is to put the patch inline, but personally I would
prefer a working attached patch, rather than a broken inline one.
Besides, as vmiklos pointed out earlier, mutt shows them inline, even when
they are attached. Why don't other mail clients do this :p
