Before merging this patch, the hard-coded srcroot needs fixing.

Fix #1: Rename 'srcroot' -> '_srcroot'. From the PKGBUILD manpage:

 If you need to create any custom variables for use in your build process, it is recommended to prefix
 their name with an _ (underscore). This will prevent any possible name clashes with internal makepkg
 variables. For example, to store the base kernel version in a variable, use something similar to
 $_basekernver.

Fix #2: Auto-set _srcroot to the *right* thing (the top of the git worktree), unless the user
overrides it. This is the code-snippet I used when testing the PKGBUILD. The code works for me:

if [[ ! -v _srcroot ]]; then                               
  msg "Environment variable _srcroot is unset"             
  msg "Fall back to using git worktree for _srcroot ..."   
  _srcroot="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)" || exit      
  msg "Using _srcroot=$_srcroot"                           
fi

Success!

$ file pkg/mingw-w64-waffle/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/wflinfo.exe 
pkg/mingw-w64-waffle/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/wflinfo.exe: PE32+ executable (console) x86-64, for MS Windows

I just built a Windows executable on my Linux box ?!?!?!?! This feels... unnatural.
