The big hammer approach is to change all directories under what ever
you use as prefix.  By default it's /usr/local

Shell programming 101:  

  $ find /usr/local/ -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chgrp <some-group-you-like>
  $ find /usr/local/ -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod g+rwxs

Figuring out what the setgid bit on a directory does is left as an exercise ;)

Perhaps.  I need to find a solution that isn't a pain for the active FPGA 
developers.
