Arf, I was trying to make some change to that syntax file this morning. My
changes didn't seem to have any effect, it was driving me mad.
After a while, I figured out I had both pkgbuild.vim and PKGBUILD.vim files
in ftdetect and syntax :P
That's because pacman-contrib installs PKGBUILD.vim, but Nathan's
instructions which I followed previously used pkgbuild.vim :
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-January/010782.html

Anyway, both license=('foo') and license=foo work fine now.

But I think only the first should be supported (the man page says that
license is an array), so I updated PKGBUILD.vim accordingly.
