I wanted to follow-up on this. I adjusted the opamroot-helper target in
line with your great suggestions and now have a version that can run
opamroot-helper without needing an already extracted ${WRKSRC}.

I would like to to keep the DISTFILES.opamroot naming with ${V} instead
of ${COMMIT.opamroot}, as the checkout with COMMIT.opamroot is only the
beginning - when I built the haxe-opamroot tarball, a few deps were
still missing, likely second or third order dependencies.

I think this is still in a reasonable state to assist with the work of
future updates.

ok to import again?
