Snapcraft Build in Subdirectory

Is it possible to configure Snapcraft to conduct an autotools build in a 
subdirectory of a cloned repository? The repository I'm cloning has the 
source in a src subdirectory, which is where the autogen/configure/make 
process needs to happen. If I manually repackage the source as a tarball 
without a subdirectory, everything works great. I looked at the Snapcraft 
code, and I didn't see anything that looked like this is an option. Seems 
like there could be a "source-directory" or similar option to go alongside 
source, source-type, source-branch, and source-tag.

I can work around this by writing a build script to manipulate the sources 
and call snappy build directly, but I'd rather have snapcraft do this for 
me than maintain another build script :-)

Thanks,
