The AUR requires a .SRCINFO file along with the PKGBUILD. Since AUR 4.0 will be
directly git pushes instead of using source tarballs, there needs to be a way
to generate the .SRCINFO files without having to make the source tarball then
extract it. Currently, this is mostly done with mksrcinfo from
pkgbuild-introspection from falconindy.
