Is the only way to allow a user to write to a protected location use the AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges function?
Yes. AEWP() is most certainly not deprecated.
If so, is there a way to tell when the application has quit, and get the exit code?
Yes. (Hint: Look at the man page for the wait() function.)
Does using a setuid tool mess up the ability for a user to delete an application, assuming the setuid tool is imbedded in an application's bundle?
Tools that are set to run setuid root tend to be security holes waiting to happen, unless they have an extremely good reason for running as setuid root, and they've been time-tested, such as the ps tool.
