i guess this is kinda cool i woder how well it works and if you can uninstall stuff you install from source with it. if you can then this deffinately gets a vote from me for a pkgbuild

IMO, pacman + PKGBUILD (using ABS) is a better way to maintain your packages built from source.

Sure, sometimes...  for some software I preffer maintaining using Source Installer, its IMHO especially much easier and faster.
