Several good suggestions were sent my way - much appreciated. In my experience, any solution to a problem that gives a user write access to anything other than their own /home directories is a disaster waiting to happen (spoken as someone who has burned in past doing otherwise). So, I'll pursue some approaches that don't reequire the /lib access option.
