Since I'm working on this, just one more thing: it would be great if the tar.bz2 and the package in general would be called wah-plugins instead of WAH-plugins; Arch doesn't support capital letters in package's names, so I had to call it wah-plugins but then the incosistency brings up some more (little) issues in packaging.
