For TiLP, there is a way to install it without super user rights. If you installed it with the installation script, then you should have seen at the end "If you want to use it as a non root user, follow the instructions in ...". Then, the path given is wrong But the instruction still exist and are located in /home/you/lpg/tilp/tilibs/libticables/trunk/CONFIG
I actually found those instructions but didn't follow through because they seemed too complicated, and sudo tilp is five characters longer than running without root
I did consider that too for these installations/configurations, but I don't know how to do search/replace by shell script.
