1. package(): will be provided by the user (and can make use of the $pkgdir variable).
2. dev(): will be provided by abuild unless we override it, by providing our own dev() function (which can make use of the $subpkgdir variable).
3. doc(): will be provided by abuild unless we override it, by providing our own doc() function (which can make use of the $subpkgdir variable).
4. pysub(): will be provided by the user (and can make use of the $subpkgdir variable).
