If you use _SITE_METHOD = local, then you don't need the custom
_EXTRACT_CMDS.

Just do:

 _SITE_METHOD = local
 _SITE = $(TOPDIR)/package/vscom/vsguitest/src/

> define VSGUITEST_CONFIGURE_CMDS

This should be:

	(cd $(@D); $(QT_QMAKE) vsguitest.pro)

otherwise:

This is because in your _CONFIGURE_CMDS, qmake gets executed inside the
Buildroot top directory.

So far, we don't have any package using Qmake inside the tree, which is
why we don't have a package infrastructure for them. So either we could
document how to create Qmake package (which is quite easy), or we could
add a package infrastructure for them.
