Actually, we are not depending directly on configure. We do depend on
Makefile.flags file which is generated by configure. You can simply
simulate configure by generating this file.
You also need to generate src/xpdf/aconf.h file and all makefiles in
src/xpdf are generated too (but generation is simple Makefile.in ->
Makefile renaming without any substitution and I am planing to remove
that in um branch in near future).

CONFIG_DATA_PATH is not a problem here and can be defined without
configure (it is directory where all pdfedit configuration data are
placed)

Generate Makefile.flags and src/xpdf/aconf.h with correct values.

Don't understand... We are using only one configure now (central in
source tree root).
