For the first problem, (installs in non-standard directories), I just use
make to build the programs and then install them using my own shell
script. For the second (allowing users to do vos releases), I set up
a services account on our AFS server that allows users to rsh to it
without a password. The account shell is a special program that
will perform one of a small set of privileged services. In the case of
volume releases, the user authenticates by creating a file with the
volume name in a special directory that is only writable by a select
group of users.
