Koji configuration allows you to specify which command to issue in order
to get a point where a directory has all the source, spec, and patches
necessary to build an srpm.  It's how we went from doing "make sources"
to "fedpkg sources".  When you are configuring your SCM, you can decide
what "command" you want the system to run in order to get the sources.
It does not have to be make, it does not have to use a "lookaside" of
any sort.  It can be whatever you want, so long as the system is able to
issue a generic command and get the sources pulled down.
