E17 SVN Builder, a new script for pacman to keep your E17 up to date!

Question

I created a script called E17 SVN Builder because of what it does: create packages of E17 direct from SVN using the same PKGBUILDs as the Arch snapshots do. It came around because I was bitten by the Settings panel bug, which was fixed in upstream a few days after the SVN snapshot was taken. I wanted an up to date E17 install, so I created this script. Do NOT use it if you want your E17 install to be stable(r?)!
I just thought I would share this script since it works for me. Perhaps people could help me improve it?
Anyway, the dependancies right now are:
yaourt-git (I need it to fetch the PKGBUILDs for the images from CVS)
svn (to fetch the E17 code)
TODO:
- I need to get rid of the dependancy on yaourt-git by extracting the code for fetching the PKGBUILDs with it.
- I want to be able to use flags with this.

UPDATE! This package has had a couple changes:
- Repetitive stuff was condensed into one piece of code. Now, its much easier to read.
- I implemented extra differently. Instead of using a flag (which for some reason always sent me into a loop, I need more practice with scripting ), I just ask the person running the script whether they want to build extra as well as the core e17-svn stuff. Now it doesn't build them all automatically.
