extractTo "dir"  -- will extract to $CWD/dir
extractTo "/usr/local/lib"

withExtractToTemp :: (FilePath -> IO ()) -> IO ()

Same as extractTo, except using the Path library.

extractTo' [reldir|dir|]  -- will extract to $CWD/dir
extractTo' [absdir|/usr/local/lib|]

withExtractToTemp' :: (Path Abs Dir -> IO ()) -> IO ()

Same as withExtractToTemp, except using the Path library.

bundle' :: Path b File -> Path b Dir -> IO ()

Same as bundle, except using the Path library.

bundle' [relfile|install-files|] [reldir|static|]
