how do I extract in this way....



Howdy folks,

I am working on getting a port going and I can't figure out (even
though there is excellent documentation available) how to have a
tar.gz file that needs to be extracted to a different location than
the main package (this is for building an option to the main package).

The scenerio is like this:

foo-1.1.4.tar.gz     --extracts to-> /usr/ports/blah/foo/work/foo-1.1.4
opt-1.56.tar.gz needs to be extracted inside of the work/foo-1.1.4
directory, but currently it just goes inside of the work directory.
Is there a way to do this that I have overlooked?  Thanks for your
help.
