Committed in r82659.

I'm leaving this open until a few other issues are fleshed out.
1. Document privilege escalation and/or expose some method to do so.
2. Test execution, e.g., buildbots


Once I get a few more things off my plate I should be able to finish setting up #2, the buildbot slave I've got almost up and running. I'd like to safely set it up so that this can be tested there, as none of the other buildbots are likely to run any of these tests.

----------
resolution:  -> fixed
