Its easy to install.

First if you haven't already done it add the community supfile to your
/etc/abs/abs.conf  SUPFILES=(arch extra !unstable community)
Then sync abs, just run abs as root.

Once you have abs setup then cp -r /var/abs/community/modules/spca5xx to
/var/abs/local so the changes you're about to make don't get overwriten
next time you sync abs.

cd into /var/abs/local/spca5xx and edit the PKGBUILD.  Change
pkgname=spca5xx to pkgname=spca5xx-beyond or what ever and your set.
Don't leave it as the same name as the community package or the next
time the package updates you won't be able to remove the original
package with pacman.

Run makepkg -i and the package will build and install for what ever
kernel you happen to be booted into, modprobe it and your set.

Remember you'll need to rebuild and install the package when a new
kernel comes out and you'll need to update the PKGBUILD if a new version
comes out for the driver.
