XFCE 4.8 fat tarball
I found this: http://archive.xfce.org/xfce/4.8pre2/fat_tarballs/ and went looking to see what was in the AUR for it, but didn't find anything. I was wondering if anyone has tried or has compelling reasons why it wouldn't be worth the effort to build a single PGKBUILD that would install the entire XFCE from the fat tarball.
Right now, it's split into a bunch of little packages, which I tend to install all of anyways (it's not exactly the beast that KDE is). I know it seems to be un-Arch to have a not-split package, but there is a certain convenience factor.
Thoughts?

Re: XFCE 4.8 fat tarball
I had found those in the forum, I'm considering using them. I was more curious if there was a good way to do this all in one PKGBUILD, say xfce48pre2-fattarball or something. Then it's a one build step.
Yea...it's mostly to satisfy my own curiosity.
