Sorry, I meant for Apple to develop something like fakeroot from the ground up.

Well, what we call "bad tongues" in French could say that MacOS never was a 
platform for Unix development ;)

I'll know where to point the next person who wonders why disabling SIP will be 
the 1st thing I'll do after I've finally upgraded from 10.9 ....

But I see quite a few items on there that are unlikely to call other 
applications. If this is only about preserving DYLD_LIBRARY_PRELOAD, why do you 
need to treat utilities like cat or rm?

And what happens when you (re)set one of the tainted env. variables in a shell 
or interpreter with the SIP bit set? Is it unset or filtered out when you call 
another executable, even if that exec doesn't have the SIP bit set?
