Details

in case some pkgs have more than one url (own, mirror, freshmeat, sourceforge), the url=() in PKGBUILD must be a list

it is easy to have a 1-item-list but not that easy creating more than 1 entry in a string :-)
This task depends upon

I'll consider this one, but it's not for sure. The PKGBUILD structure was never intended to package multiple projects in a single package, and I like it that way.

it's not meant for multiple pkgs (but can also be used for) ... it's mainly to be able to add project-URL's that if one of them breaks and is not longer reachable, you can track the project with the other without searching the internet for hours

url=('the main' 'the freshmeat' 'the sourceforge' ...)

dont know the code behind, but if it's OO, then you can have both, list and string ... and override the one or the other: 2 constructors, one for list and other for string only (the only programming i do is java, sorry to not explain better)

an example would be:

for kde-i18n-pkgs:

url=('http://www.kde.org' 'http://i18n.kde.org' 'http://i18n.kde.org/stats/gui/KDE_3_2_BRANCH/eo/index.php')

where the first is for the main site of kde, the second to i18n resources and the 3rd to the language

i admit, that most pkgs do not have multiple urls needed, but there exist some, that really would have a better info about it --- and having 2 or more comments in the PKGBUILD works too, but not that good, because the web-interface dont show them
