[pacman-dev] PKGBUILD.proto

[Jud]

Hi,

Dan suggested I send this to the pacman-dev list.

After completing some research and asking alot of questions I present
some minor changes to PKGBUILD.proto supplied as a .diff to be merged
after your approval. I believe it helps the intended audience create a
better PKGBUILD in less time according to the latest Arch Packaging
Standards.

Cheers
Jud
