One final, last minute issue:

Where is the upstream of this package?

AFAIU, the original tarballs are those in
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~keb/cldoc/downloads/
while
ftp://ftp.bioxray.au.dk/pub/mok/src/ 
hosts repackaged tarballs w/ autotool-support having been added. 

This wouldn't be much of a problem, if the original upstream was dead, but it
apparently isn't. It released an update a couple of days ago.

The normal approach in Fedora would be to use the original upstream and to
provide patches (which may originate from different origins) against the
original upstream. Otherwise things easily tend to diverge.

What do you propose to do about this? Is bioxray actively working on this
package's sources?
