I'd be fine with something akin to extrapkg, where it did all the
tagging, and put stuff in the right staging dirs, but left the
/arch/db-x calls to me.

Jupp I did that for the qt move. You can find the latest and quite well tested
ones in my home dir. Or should I move them somewhere else to share?

Hmm. Sounds like something we should commit to the db-scripts
codebase. I totally forgot you write these 8)

They are just prototypes; someone should review the code before.

They look good. I made some minor changes just to be cleaner:
http://dev.archlinux.org/~aaron/testing2core.txt

a) I changed `` to $() as backticks are kinda-sorta deprecated
b) I renamed showWarning to 'die' because perl and other languages use
'die' and a 'warning' usually implies non-fatal

I started delving into the DB scripts a little today in an effort to
completely overhaul them, so I will try to integrate something like
this automatically if I can.
