Update Arch Linux build instructions

[yuvadm]

Building on Arch Linux no longer requires building the ICU static libraries with ABS.

Instead, all the relevant steps (including a missing patch), are now bundled in the icu-staticlibs AUR package. Arch users with an AUR helper (such as yaourt) can now simply run:

$ yaourt -S icu-staticlibs

Please update https://github.com/maidsafe/MaidSafe/wiki/Build-Instructions-for-Linux#archlinux with this info.

Additionally, I'm working on an AUR package for maidsafe itself.

Thank you for that, done now. Very much appreciated.

Hmm, the current wiki version is wrong, you can't run pacman -S icu-staticlibs since it's an AUR package, and not in the official repos.

But hold on, I'll finish the work on the maidsafe AUR package and then we can update the wiki with a final version.

Oh sorry about that I am not an Arch user, That would be very good of you. Sorry for confusion.

OK I've decided to drop the AUR package for now, since maidsafe isn't ready for end-user usage as far as I understand. Since most of the work is done with hacking and testing, and not much with actually testing an installed binary, there's no real point in packaging this for the AUR.

However, here's the markdown I suggest for the wiki:

Arch Linux Build Instructions

Install the prerequisites:

pacman -S base-devel python-psutil fuse git valgrind

Also required are the ICU staticlibs, which are not compiled by default. You can, however, easily install them by installing the AUR package icu-staticlibs:

yaourt -S icu-staticlibs

Thanks again this is now added. We will be rolling out installers in the next few weeks, patches will be very welcome. Again cheers
