Yep.  mktemp. automake, automake-devel, automake-stable, autoconf,
autoconf-devel, autoconf-stable, cygutils, ...

probably too late -- and besides, I don't think setup/upset are prepared 
for source packages that don't end in -src.  But why should they be 
distinguished?  It's up to the maintainer of each package to keep 
track...non-maintainers who want to build it personally should just 
download and follow the instructions.
