I have added to Ext a section Contravariant Ext on ordinary objects with the explicit definition by resolutions. But mainly I added after this a bit of explicit discussion of how to see that the standard formula $H^n(Hom(P_\bullet,A) )$ computes indeed the homotopy classes $X \to \mathbf{B}^n A$.

More general abstract discussion along these lines is planned there or at derived functors in homological algebra, but is not done yes.
