That's interesting. We don't really enforce anything with the prototypes 
but it's good to show the preferred syntax with them.

I think $pkgname and $pkgver should be safe though, right? They 
shouldn't contain spaces or other weird things so don't require 
additional quotings. But pkgdir, srcdir and startdir do.

So maybe instead of :
   cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
we could use :
   cd ${srcdir}/$pkgname-$pkgver
?
