Hi Justin,
I followed your suggestions and updated the PKGBUILDs accordingly.
nama-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40135
nama: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40133
I don't think anything uses nama as a module, so I rather stick with the
current name.
Please tell me if you have any more suggestions. I know I didn't use the
new build() and package() functions. I'm simply not familiar with those
yet, and I don't think they offer any significant benefit.

I did use it already, but I did so sloppily, just to get the job done.
