I have no idea....   Yesterday when trying the "if grep" syntax, makepkg 
would just stop directly before outputing "Creating package".  I assumed 
it was something due to "set -e".   Strange thing is, I can not 
replicate it today...   even after pulling the stashed changes I had 
saved so I could go back and figure it out.  I might be going mad...

I have adjusted the patch to use Cedric's syntax now that it is working 
for me.
