I do not understand the comment about split packages?  How do they 
change anything to do with extracting and replacing the checksum arrays?

Also the comment about $PATH confuses me...

I have not looked at your script in detail, but there is quite a lot of 
discussion about various approaches to doing this in the following bug 
report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15051 .  Any script being added 
to contrib should support updating the variety of checksums makepkg accepts.
