Multipath-tools PKGBUILD

Question

Hello,
I'm a long time user of archlinux, but a first time poster to the forums, and a first time PKGBUILDer.
I've read the ABS documents and I believe I've followed the guide pretty well for my first donation to AUR.
I've created a PKGBUILD for multipath-tools for users that use archlinux on SAN based servers.  Please take a look, make suggestions and hopefully we can get this in AUR for everyone to use.
Thanks,
Matt

Ack! I forgot the /etc/rc.d/multipathd startup script.
