[pacman-dev] [PATCH] makepkg: allow passing arguments with spaces

[Allan McRae]

Currently makepkg takes the commandline arguments, assigns them to a
variable and passes that variable to the next makepkg call (within
fakeroot).

Use a comination of quotes and arrays in this process to ensure any
arguments passed within quotes and containing spaces stay as a single
argument during the second makepkg call.

Thanks to Dan for figuring out how to get this working.
