This could have been easy with something like chown's --reference flag,
but this is GNU specific. Instead, just truncate and rewrite the file.
Our exit trap cleans up after us.

Re-add some paranoia which was inadvertently lost with 768b65e934. In
case 'makepkg -g' fails to generate new sums (e.g. when a remote
resource cannot be fetched), or awk fails to write the new file (i have
no idea when this would happen), bail out with an error.

This apparently exposes (what I think is) a subtle bug in cygwin's
handling of subst'd drives. Let's just drop the hackery and use a
tempfile, which should always work.
Also, introduce a proper die() function which replaces previous
hand-rolled error+exit pattern, but which wrote to stdout.

This change reveals a bootstrapping bug -- since we call the bare
"makepkg" and rely on PATH lookup, we might not have a makepkg which
can generate architecture-specific checksums.
This prevents updpkgsums from potentially dirtying an otherwise pristine
directory (likely $PWD) when makepkg creates the srclinks.

Forcing vim users to view files with a tabstop of 2 seems really
unnecessary when noet is set. I find it much easier to read code with
ts=4 and I dislike having to override the modeline by hand.
Command run:
find . -type f -exec sed -i '/vim.* noet/s# ts=2 sw=2##' {} +

Unify the formatting of the --help switch for pacman utils, if it exists.
All of the pacman utils will now output help text using the following
format:
util-name (pacman) v<pacman version>
one line description of util's purpose
Usage: util-name [options]
-b, --bar whatever --bar does
-f, --foo whatever --foo does
-h, --help display this help message

This fixes error messages to display the contents of variables rather
than the variable name by replacing backticks with single quotes (m4
eats backticks). It also removes $"" localization from error messages to
eliminate security holes.
For instance, `rankmirrors nonexistent_file' will now display:
'nonexistent_file' does not exist.
rather than:
$1 does not exist.

m4 has a field day parsing escapes and actually vandalizes this string,
causing the error to look like:
==> ERROR: \PKGBUILD\ not found or is not a file
Avoid all quoting and just match up with how makepkg reports errors (no
quoting at all).
