Two issues:

1) The `package()` function was missing (as @iraliaf and @masoud point out), so I fixed it.
2) The `gcc` dependency was missing (to be able to build it!) so I added it.

Here's my latest working version: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=FGGWbU4a

It looks like netrek.org is no longer hosting 3.3.0 anymore, and in the COW folder, I didn't find anything newer.

From the looks of it, the newest version of the cow client is actually on launchpad, and not always on netrek.org.

I would suggest changing the source from

source=("http://www.netrek.org/files/COW/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz")

to

source=("https://launchpad.net/netrek-client-cow/${pkgver%.*}/$pkgver/+download/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz")

And it properly builds.

Also an aside, why does this install to /usr/bin/cow and not /usr/bin/netrek-client-cow?

`/usr/local/games/netrek-client-cow` Doesn't execute from cli.
