Please do not this because i love it to use arch instead of (k)ubuntu. -)

For me as an normal user it will be enough if there are lines in the abs.conf
which are not activ at first. So i have to read the warning(s) and can decide
if i will comment it out or not. The place for this PKBUILD's could be at
example in "/var/abs/aur" and a big plus would be that a search with pacman
will show them. For me it will be okay that then i have to go by myself to
the right directory and run makepkg under fakeroot as an normal user (after
reading the PKBUILD).

A very big point should be that you can use this only in combination with the
package fakeroot because this saves me a lot of times my configuration during
my own tries. If this is not possible than the hints about using fakeroot
should be at the same place (abs.conf) where i have to configure it.

I think this is secure enough but this is only my opinion. At least i have to
say that i support this functionality.

See you, Attila
