Yes, thanks for your comments, which help confirm my idea. I've just modificated the source code so that when the directory is created and the ./configure has given either a dir_user or dir_group, the directory takes on the appropriate owner and/or group. With that, I think everything should work. Hopefully, no one will find any downsides to this.
