Subject: updating Mj2 by a non-privileged user

I need to update Mj2 without bothering the system owner.
Mj2's install does a bunch of chown and chmod, and of course
that won't work unless you're root. Is there any way to
re-install without being root? I'm not talking about the
first pass, I'm talking about installing bug fixes and/or
enhancements. This might require bypassing calls to chown
and chmod if the files haven't changed, or perhaps a two
stage install that updated the libraries separately from
updating the wrappers.

Any thoughts? Tricks? Experiences? Thanks in advance!
