I recently set up a GitHub repository for my RPCEmu builds. It's currently private, and doesn't include Andrew's patches, but as I'm on furlough for the next three weeks (err, yay?) I will make some time to add in Andrew's changes and then make everything available to download, including as binaries. I'll post to the list when it's ready.
I have complete patched builds for macOS and Windows ready to go with a 5.24 disc image, but we're just waiting on 5.28 being finalised. The COVID-19 situation has at once caused significant delays, but also removed various deadline time pressures, so that's helpful in a strange kind of way.
Tim, if you e-mail me off-list I can share this including the build script so we can "compare notes", so to speak.
The Mac side of the app would need a fair bit of additional code to try and walk the user through the System Preferences changes. Even for apps with large development teams, Catalina seems to have this as a very clunky process; I suppose any kind of programmatic automation of it would negate the benefits, though, as malware could use it to try and bypass the system protections.
I wrote a PDF read-me for the ROOL macOS version which guides the user through everything, with screenshots.
