Can't you just do "find -type f | xargs -i sed -i s/root/0/ {}" in
pre_patch()/pre_build()?

For adding users and groups I usually use this in pre_build():
if ! grep -q foo $goboSettings/group
then
Log_Normal "Adding group foo"
groupadd foo
fi
if ! grep -q "foo:x:" $goboSettings/passwd
then
Log_Normal "Adding user foo"
useradd foo -g foo -c 'added by Compile for Foo' -d $goboVariable/empty
-s $goboExecutables/false
fi
I'm still looking for a solution for apps that want to change things in
current files in /System/Settings. If anyone have an idea, please shout.
