AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges deprecated

I have this code:

AuthorizationRef	auth;
OSStatus aa = AuthorizationCreate( NULL, kAuthorizationEmptyEnvironment, kAuthorizationFlagDefaults, &auth);

const char *pathToTool = [ theHelperPath fileSystemRepresentation ];
const char *const arguments[] = { "--self-repair", NULL };
FILE *communicationsPipe;
aa = AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges	(  	auth,
											pathToTool,
											kAuthorizationFlagDefaults,
											(char * const *)arguments,
											&communicationsPipe
										);

int fileDescriptor = fileno( communicationsPipe );
NSFileHandle *readHandel = [ [ NSFileHandle alloc ] initWithFileDescriptor: fileDescriptor ];

... some reading from readHandel

int yy = fclose( communicationsPipe );

works fine, but Xcode is telling me that AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges is deprecated since 10.7.

I asked Xcode about this (expecting something like: "use this instead") but got no answer.

So what to do?
My HelperTool needs to run as root. How is this to be done?

Gerriet.
