Hello mazilo,
Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post. I am sorry for the confusion in my explanation. I guess I am equally confused about how to handle the OpenWrt package creating system.
I am trying to build the netopeer multilayer server (https://code.google.com/p/netopeer/). To do so for OpenWrt 12.09, I have had to create three packaging scripts (do you call them that?), which I will briefly explain and post below.
The first is a modification for libssh2 so that the package installs the corresponding pkg-config files and libraries in the staging directory. The packaging Makefile is the following:
#

# This is free software, licensed under the GNU General Public License v2.
# See /LICENSE for more information.
#
include $(TOPDIR)/rules.mk
PKG_NAME:=libssh2
PKG_VERSION:=1.4.3
PKG_RELEASE:=1
PKG_SOURCE:=$(PKG_NAME)-$(PKG_VERSION).tar.gz
PKG_SOURCE_URL:=http://www.libssh2.org/download
PKG_MD5SUM:=42e2b3796ac07fc1dbafc7abcc002cd3

include $(INCLUDE_DIR)/package.mk
define Package/libssh2

TITLE:=SSH2 library

$(INSTALL_DIR) $(1)/usr/lib

endef
$(eval $(call BuildPackage,libssh2))
All I did here was include the Build/InstallDev section which wasn't there before. I had to do this because libnetconf, the library that netopeer requires, asks for this dependency.
libnetconf was interesting to package and through a lot of sweat and tears I was able to create a functioning Makefile which I post below:

define Package/libnetconf/description
libnetconf is a NETCONF library in C intended for building NETCONF
clients and servers. It provides basic functions to connect NETCONF
client and server to each other via SSH, to send and receive NETCONF
messages and to store and work with the configuration data in a
datastore.
libnetconf implements the NETCONF protocol introduced by IETF.

endef
$(eval $(call BuildPackage,libnetconf))
The final Makefile (script) is netopeer. The interesting thing about netopeer is that it's cloned git repository has the following structure:
netopeer/
netopeer/cli
netopeer/server
netopeer/sever-sl
The netopeer/ directory is empty. netopeer/cli, netopeer/server and netopeer/server-sl are completely independent and have their own configure scripts and Makefiles.
I tried to use the knowledge I obtained from packaging libnetconf but was unsuccessful at configuring, much less compiling. Below is what I have for a working Makefile for packaging:

Thank you once again for taking the time to read my post. I welcome any suggestions and comments on my predicament.
