Downloading and unpacking upstream sources from a remote location
indicated in a file tracked by the repository is very good idea, IMO. In
fact I hope eventually at least this procedure becomes standard, even
incorporated into `sage-pkg`. We shouldn't trust people not to screw up
the src/ directory :) This will avoid ugly issues like us shipping
subtly modified src/ directories, or *tracking* the src/ directories (as
I notice four of our SPKGs - genus2reduction, mpfi, ratpoints, and
cephes - currently do), etc.
