I can't remember if any updates are needed to pacsearch, or if I made
any. I will try to look sometime and check them in if we do.

Not the biggest fan either, but might as well include it if it works.
Sounds like it needs some patching though.

I think this can probably go.

I like this file a lot, I currently have it dropped in my
~/.vim/syntax/ folder. Note that when you install this, you will want
to create a ftdetect/PKGBUILD.vim file as well:
$ cat /home/dmcgee/.vim/ftdetect/PKGBUILD.vim
au BufNewFile,BufRead PKGBUILD set filetype=PKGBUILD

If someone is better with vim syntax files, there are a few things
that could use doing here, but overall it works well.
