I'd like to see this for the configuration of the source tree during the build process (up to and including the %prep stage). Right now, just applying the patches can require a system image which provides the build dependencies. Many %prep scripts also leave behind random stuff for developer convenience (think "patch -b"), and this interferes with things like generating diffs or source tree indexing. And right now, accessing the actual source code is computationally expensive.
