If you use the auto*stuff provided by the gimp-plugin-template module,
this should Just Work so long as you set the prefix to ~/tmp/prefix-dir/
before building the plug-in. The autostuff works by using gimptool to
find out the paths, but not to do the actual copying.

To express the plug-in directory in terms of the prefix variable, the
configure script has this lovely little tidbit:
GIMP_PLUGIN_DIR=`gimptool --gimpplugindir | sed -e "s/$( gimptool --prefix | sed 's/\//\\\\\\//g')/\$\{prefix\}/"`
If you do get a spec file working with gimp-plugin-template, we'd
welcome its addition to the template for others to use.
