[OE-core] what is the working directory for configure/compile/install tasks?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  this is such a simple question, i'm kind of embarrassed to be asking
it.

  i've been handed a simple example of Makefile-based source to turn
into a recipe, and the configure/build process is absolutely
straightforward -- top-level "configure" and "Makefile" files to be
run -- to the point where i can simply define my own do_configure(),
do_compile(), etc. tasks.

  i'm aware that most tasks are defined in terms of commands that
explicitly use directory references with "S", "B", "D", WORKDIR, and
so on and so on. but if i want to define a do_configure() task that
does nothing more than invokes the top-level "configure" script, how
would i refer to it?

  i'm reading the YP dev manual, and it'a just a bit vague on this
topic, unless i managed to miss it.
