I think there should be a --disable-abs configure option for anything apart from archlinux.

This option could disable the etc/abs subdirectory and scripts/abs.in from installation.
This task depends upon

Thanks for the patch - but does this break some things in makepkg? as far as I know, it's the abs.conf is used for the 'builddeps' flag and things like that.

What's the best way to handle "builddeps" if abs isn't there ?(personal note: I think builddeps is dumb anyway, but some people probably use it)

It doesn't "break" makepkg, makepkg checks if abs.conf exists before it tries to source it. Without abs.conf and no `SRCROOT=... makepkg` it will bail out with an error saying define SRCROOT in makepkg.conf

I like this idea. I'll pull it into my working branch sometime. Any other components that should be configurable? Biggest one I can think of would be disabling the static build, etc. although that has limited usefulness.
