This does work with the GGI libs. Look at the buildall script. It does
exactly this.

This is impossible due to the dynamic nature of LibGGI (the configfiles
would need considerable tweaking as would the whole config reading stuff in
order to find everything in the build tree which has a somewhat other layout
than an installed version), but it is easily possible to set $prefix to
something like $HOME/ggitest/installed and install there.
I've done that on a couple of machines on which I am not root. No problem.

Should work. Please recheck, if the existing functionality satisfies your
needs.
