There already are special purpose build systems, like the Minetest one.
I think you can just define it locally in the module and document it
with a comment, you don't necessarily have to make a module for it.
Alternatively you could write a function that modifies a package to add
the necessary phase.

I'm glad you brough this up, because I should test these ideas on my
MirageOS branch.  FWIW I think I'll go with the build system solution.
