Hmm.. I think you should use pre-patch or post-patch for that purpose.
I mean, "extract" stage should only consist of extracting files,
removing unnecessary files, and creating or copying necessary files,
when patching and editing files belong in "patch" (or "configure")
stage.

=46rom my point of view, "make extract" should just extract the
distributed files as-is, so one can stand at the start point and look
around to find out what materials are provided by the vendor(s).  I
suppose that would help him/her try (another) hacking on it.

Maybe something like above should have been clarified in the Porter's
Handbook, but at least it says "Do things rationally", which I'd apply
to this case. :>
