As a side-note, Python can write in the maps's python/ directories, since 
Python compiles the scripts to .pyc files.

Actually, the script uses its own apply script, so wouldn't be too hard to 
change the map path to point to some writable directory (in var?) - set 
the 'unique' map flag when loading, and you're set, server won't change the 
path :)
