This is not a "hack" and frankly it is a procedure which should be
given in your distributions packaging guidelines or if not then
it should be addressed on your distros Maintainers list.

Emelfm2 is not the only app that does not use 'configure' but 
instead make/make install.
And with all the builds for those apps you must define the prefix
for chroot/nonroot builds.
Many distros, including mine, uses a predefined marco for the
buildroot/tmppath (all our pkgs are built as user).
