pkgsync - Sync installed packages across Arch installs

This is just a simple script to sync installed packages across Arch installs, with exclusions for hardware specific things and blacklists as well.

It just makes it much easier to ensure I have all the same packages across all my machines.

To use, just configure pkgsync by modifying /etc/default/pkgsync, follow instructions in comments. Then just run pkgsync on each system to sync packages.  It won't install or remove packages, or make changes to the shared install list without asking you first.

Hope someone else finds it useful as well, thanks!

It's a good thing you have the above otherwise I know a lot of people would criticize the script for not having it.

Nonetheless, good job. I personally don't have a need for it yet as I only own one machine that runs Arch, but someday, when I do, I'll use it.
