make -C ../seamonkey-build/mailnews/extensions/enigmail install

It does as far as I can see.  I believe the main file is:

# ls -l /usr/lib/seamonkey-1.1.8/xpi_store/
total 840
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 852341 Mar 23 21:17 enigmail-0.95.6.xpi

Also:

However, the README.txt file still says:

"Note: If you install in the default directory (which is
usually /usr/local/mozilla), or any other directory where
only the root user normally has write-access, you must
start Mozilla first as root before other users can start
the program. Doing so generates a set of files required
for later use by other users."

I don't know if this is still valid or not.  It seems to work for me 
without doing that, but I have run previous versions as root and I have 
established settings in ~/.mozilla.

I've never tried to do this, but all of the above installs in DESTDIR if 
that is used in the make, ln, install, and cp commands.
