If you eliminate the extract phase, there will be nothing in the
workpath. You could technically install straight from distpath to
destroot, but that's a little confusing.
This would probably be better:
distfiles name_of_script
extract { file copy ${distpath}/${distfiles} ${workpath} }
use_configure no
build {}
...
