I'm going to give this idea the OK to go into makepkg...

However it would be good to come to some agreement on the syntax first.
In particular, I'd like to see the syntax and the sed/awk line that
would be used to replace it on first use and update it subsequently.
Remember that there could be nesting.  Once that is demonstrated and the
final format chosen, then it can be implemented.

I am picky about this because we do not like breaking PKGBUILD formats
in the future and I do not want this to become the maintenance nightmare
that it could end up being if done wrong.
