[oe] RFC: feature request - wrap sources

[Robert Schuster]

Hi all,
I have a feature request that should help dealing with those source
tarballs which do not contain a proper top level directory. The idea is
to allow to add a parameter 'wrap' to the SRC_URI entry denoting the
source tarball. If it is present (and 1) the unpacker creates a
directory named ${P} and unpacks the tarball therein.

This would make it unneccessary to change S for such packages and
furthermore the work directory is not cluttered with files and folders
from inside the source tarball.

Like it? (Any pointer where such code should be put?)

Regards
Robert
