You may be aware that you can put a link from 
local_src/${PACKAGE_NAME}_${PLATFORM}
to a local directory. In this case ptxdist will use this directory as
source directory for a package instead of the tarball. This is useful
if you are working on the sourcecode for a package while compiling with
ptxdist. The command is just a shortcut to create the link because I
always forget the exact name of the link.
