Dear developers,

I think the discussion have gone off in another direction than the title 
proposes (I have no opinion on that matter) but for what it is worth I just now 
created an ooRexx installation that runs of a USB stick, with no use of 
superuser powers whatsoever.

It is only for MAC but the idea is extremely simple and should be possible to 
take to other platforms: During the CMake I redirected the installation to 
/volumes/<myUSBstickName>. After that the only thing I needed to do was to 
amend the path.

Can be found here, instructions for use in the dmg image, just mount it and 
read howto.txt.
