The configure script still expects you to be root, so the patch needs to adjust
for that as well.

Having a flag like --disable-root-check to disable the configuration root check,
and then using --prefix to set where to install to might work.  This patch seems
only to address a single person's need is kind of what I'm saying, and so, it 
can't
be added to the vpopmail project.

I think the option is a good idea and just needs to be implemented for the 
project.
