SciTE CVS [FINISHED]

Question

Please see post #6 for review request
-->This is easier to understand if you know SciTE. <--
I put together a PKGBUILD file for SciTE from CVS. I got it working great but with one remaining problem. There are bugs (that I filed a bug report for) where some of the options in the User Options File are ignored by SciTE. Two of these that I know of are window position and geometry. In order to change these settings it has to be done to the Global Options File. This is overwritten every time SciTE is updated.
The solution so far is to check to see if /usr/share/scite/SciTEGlobal.properties already exists in the file system. If it does, the new version of the file is saved as SciTEGlobal.properties.pacnew and the old version is copied into the new package. Is this a decent solution until the bug gets fixed upstream? If so, how do I get pacman to print and log the information? If not, would copying all of the settings from the old properties file to the new one make more sense?
--EDIT--
Post #6 has the (hopefully) final version.
