I've been digging into this a little more and found that
sourcepkg.bbclass is probably more along the lines of what I need.
What I'd like to do is for some selection of packages run ONLY the
steps needed for sourcepkg generation (e.g. do_unpack,
create_orig_tgz, do_patch, create_diff_gz).

Right now, I don't really know where to begin. I'll have to write some
bash/python combination script that makes specific bitbake calls I
guess...
Could anyone point me into the right direction?

Thanks,

Jan.
