Now, the variables that define what should be performed at the
different steps of the build process.
+* +LIBFOO_EXTRACT_CMDS+ lists the actions to be performed to extract
+ the package. This is generally not needed as tarballs are
+ automatically handled by Buildroot. However, if the package uses a
+ non-standard archive format, such as a ZIP or RAR file, or has a
+ tarball with a non-standard organization, this variable allows to
+ override the package infrastructure default behavior.
+
* +LIBFOO_CONFIGURE_CMDS+ lists the actions to be performed to
configure the package before its compilation.
