Sorry Dan, but I do not get your point. This patch makes it possible to specify
a pacman command in one of the makepkg.conf files, but it is not mandatory
because of the reason you mentioned. I already use your line in my patch:
+# set pacman command if not defined in config files
+PACMAN=${PACMAN:-pacman}
+
It is, however, not possible to provide a pacman command via environment
variable, because I think it makes more sense to store it in a config file.
So do you mean it should be possible to use an environment variable as well?
