Details

Every -vcs PKGBUILD in the AUR has a duplication of the same code. makepkg should handle downloading these like it downloads from the source array.

There are two ways to do this:
* Just implement functions that need to be called in build() to start the download.
* Implement new arrays (git, hg, svn, etc) and have it similar to the source array.

The first is a requirement for the second, attached is a patch implementing it.
