As, this way it is possible, two and you can use the same 
match_source_file to
get the source tarball of the madwifi package, draft skeleton like:

if pkginstalled madwifi; then
   file="`match_source_file -p . madwifi`"
   # exact and add to configure (or so, etc.)
fi

The arguments to match_source_file are regex to match, by default
of the currently building package, with an additional parameter of the
package specified.

-p to print the whole t2 related download location, otherwise just the
filename as it.

Yours,
