I made this change because do_unpack_append() was being treated
as a Python function, so the syntax was wrong.  By using that
function to run a shell function, the problem is solved.  I patterned
this after similar functions, e.g. in the eglibc recipe.  It took me
a while to find and understand this, but then it became obvious.
