There's a point in everyone's life when you feel the need to write an AUR helper because there are only about 20 of them.
So say hi to 20+1.

Yay was created with a few objectives in mind and based on the design of [yaourt ](https://github.com/archlinuxfr/yaourt ) and [apacman ](https://github.com/oshazard/apacman ):
