It should be easy. I've never tried to provide custom source but if you use 
existing Helm sources, it's very easy to craft your own. For me, I prefer 
Helm's way. That is, I can directly enter a filename, and narrow down it later 
if more than one candidates are displayed. Compared with ido + flx, I have to 
precisely remember the structure of something and enter it follow the correct 
order. For example, I can enter test.c and hundreds of them might exist. I can 
narrow down further by specifying the path incrementally later. With Ido, I 
always have to remember the path for fuzzy completion. Helm gives me greater 
flexibility; with flexibility, it gives greater explorability in a huge source. 
You should read the section "Why Helm is powerful" above.
