Works for most packages so I think it is safe to introduce it as a separate 
function. I would strongly suggest though not to call it inside src_install() 
function but use it separately instead

Please review it first since there are some "pretty" hacks like :
a) fallback to S="${WORKDIR}/{MY_P} when ${WORKDIR}/${P} doesnt exist
b) DOCS installation on src_install and a special variable DOCSDIR which 
defines the path under which the docs are located on source dir
c) some other hacks I don't remember :)

Since I was the one who introduced those hacks, I am not really sure you 've 
noticed them o:)
