Problem description
Currently it seems like the existing hooks cannot be used to amend configuration on extensions within an Easyconfig, e.g. for amending Perl extension preconfigopts.
I am currently wanting to override some settings on the SSLeay extension for Perl Easyconfigs which I don't think is directly achievable. I'm attempting to force dependency on base OS OpenSSL libraries which are versioned below the Easybuild OpenSSL configs for various toolchains (Centos 7 with no approval for EPEL OpenSSL v1.1 😢 )
Proposed solution
Add some hooks which execute in the post and pre context of extension installations.
tl;dr
Please add pre/post extension hooks.
