kext ownership settings

Under darwin 6.0 (os x 10.2) the kernel now enforces some security on kexts by requiring they be owned by root, be in the wheel group, and probably have mode 755 on the directories.

This makes doing ProjectBuilder builds really tough when running the build as a regular user and not root. Yep, PB complains that it can't overwrite the kext because of ownership.

It's a real pain to go in and "sudo rm -rf my.kext" every time I want to build it and then "sudo chown -R root:wheel my.kext" afterwards.

Anyone have a slick way of setting up PB so it can get around this?
