Near the top of my build script, I define:
run="su $package_user -c "
Then whenever a command, say `configure_commands' needs to be run as the
package user, I just have something like the following:
{ $run configure_commands 3>&1 1>&2 2>&3 \
| tee "$package_home/configure.err" ;} \
&>"$package_home/configure.log"
test_pipe
Then if I have, say, some post-install stuff that I need to do as root,
like ldconfig, I just omit the `$run'.

Sounds good :-)

Also sounds good :-)
