the make phases logic



hello,

sometimes i just do a make fetch and/or make extract.
lately i wanted to take a look at some files in the
php sources so i did a make extract and it started to
wildly download extensions and dependencies.

i was wondering why are the compile dependencies
evaluated at this stage?  i just wanted to take a
look at the code, and after all, extracting does
not guarantee compiling, or does it?

i realize i can just download it and extract it,
but why would i do that if we have this beautiful
ports framework?  (Marc?)
