This is already changed for kolab-1.0-rc1.

Due to changes in the underlying OpenPKG structure we now require in general 
root priviledges for compiling and installing.

Please check with the QIM in cvs if there is still some stuff missing.

Having the possibility of adding multiple aliases is a planned feature after
