Sorry Seablade, but a build script actually documents how it was built,
you have to commands in there, one ofter the other, for your reading
pleasure. The user can throw you a link, you can have a look and
immediately say things like: "oh, that's wrong, you have to build with
internal SLV2 and without VST or you won't get support".
Arch build scripts are a few lines of bash and you don't even need to
know bash to understand them.
