Here is the discussion from when I first submitted this: 
http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-July/012565.html

It was decided that including build options (distcc, ccache) was not 
needed.  To do this, I needed to either hard code the options to be put 
in the .PKGINFO file at the point where it was created or to split the 
known_options array up.  I think the latter was the better approach so I 
took it.
