<p>
        The base class is special in that every <code class="filename">.bb</code> 
        file inherits it automatically. 
        This class contains definitions for standard basic 
        tasks such as fetching, unpacking, configuring (empty by default), compiling 
        (runs any <code class="filename">Makefile</code> present), installing (empty by default) and packaging 
        (empty by default). 
        These classes are often overridden or extended by other classes 
        such as <code class="filename">autotools.bbclass</code> or <code class="filename">package.bbclass</code>. 
        The class also contains some commonly used functions such as <code class="filename">oe_runmake</code>.
