Babette, You can still achieve the objective using SYSTEM, which does not require a SYSDBA connection. Or for that matter any user with DBA role. The trick is a new privilege named "grant any object privilege"; any user with that privilege can grant anything on objects owned by other schema. If you don't want to use SYSTEM for this, you could create a special user and grant only that system privilege directly to it.
Hope this helps.
