Hello all
This is my first attempt to create a valid PKGBUILD file for Arch
Linux.
It is about the missing amiwm window manager.
Please tell me what you think

License should be custom, you should use $pkgver in the URL (will save you a
step when you update it), and you need to provide dependency info (at very
least Xorg, but most likely more).

Also, having built it, it looks like the smallest inclusive dependency
is just libxmu by itself. Finally, the manuals should be installed in
/usr/share/man, not /usr/man. Append the following:
mv -v "${pkgdir}/usr/man" "${pkgdir}/usr/share"
Use of curly braces (unnecessary in this case) and placement of the
quote marks above are to taste. Another thing, again only to taste, is
always using '-v' in mv, cp, ln, and install commands (probably others),
but if something goes wrong, it gives the user more to go on and shows
up in the build log.
