PKGBUILD from install script

I'm would like to install MoneyDance (moneydance.com) on my Arch box. They provide an install script to install the java program, so there's no "compile" step. I'm wondering how to translate that into a PKGBuild file I can use with pacman and perhaps even post into the AUR.

I'm sure this has been done before, but I'm having trouble finding a similar package that I can use as a starting point.

Re: PKGBUILD from install script

You don't always have to compile stuff, just install it i.e. copy to the right place with the right permissions.
