Arch Linux update script

The script needs installed and configured yaourt, localepurge and sudo to run.
What it does is:

1. Shows you the latest 3 Arch Linux news titles. You should check them for "manual intervention required"-notices.
   


2. Performs a full system update
   


3. Searches for orphaned packages and removes them


4. Cleans pacmans package caches
   


5. Invokes localepurge to delete unnneeded locales and man pages
   

Here is a screenshot of the script in action:
