Can you explore using a Content Management System to allow them to
selectively import code specifict to their modules, but restrict them
from importing the critical core modules?  Along those lines, can you
implement a $HOME/.application search path for "plugins"?

Really, I understand that you feel a well-defined developer/user policy
is not enough control for your situation.  So be it. ;-)

Ha! On one extreme, you could always use SOAP for controlling the core
application API.  Though, that's probably more work than just
distributing byte code. *shrug*

Well, I don't envy your situation.  I hope it works out.
