I hate to say it, but after the talk on the ML, would we also want some sort of 'checkdepends=()' PKGBUILD array?

I'm not sure I'd even make it require any sort of option flag other than simply the presence of a check() function in the build script. I think more useful would be command line options (either --nocheck or --check, depending on what we decide the default should be).

There are two future options that are kind of similar in ow they should be handled. Whether or not to run a check() function and whether or not to create a package with debug symbols. I think there has to be a way for a user to set their default preference for both of these, probably with a command-line option to override it.

Could checkdepends just be makedepends?
