What is the something else? If it the shape of the build follows the gnu steps
with some extra autotools, you may be able to use modify-phases. You would get
the majority of the unpacking, replacement of relevant paths, and more. Then
you could add some extra steps to work in the autotools specifics. My
experience with the trivial builder is that it is best for union builds and
copying some files but not much more.
Good luck,
John
