Package Splitting
-----------------
-makepkg supports building multiple packages from a single PKGBUILD. This is achieved
-by assigning an array of package names to the `pkgname` directive. Each split package
-uses a corresponding packaging function with name `package_foo()`, where `foo` is the
-name of the split package.

-All options and directives for the split packages default to the global values given
-within the PKGBUILD. However, some of these can be overridden within each split
-package's packaging function. The following variables can be overridden: `pkgver`,
-`pkgrel`, `pkgdesc`, `arch`, `license`, `groups`, `depends`, `optdepends`,
-`provides`, `conflicts`, `replaces`, `backup`, `options`, `install` and `changelog`.
