A very simple minded way to do this is to put all of your "final" code
into a single directory tree and then put that tree at the beginning of
everyone's IDL search path.

!path = !path + $
':' + EXPAND_PATH('+/Home/Shared/final/idl') + $
':' + EXPAND_PATH('+~/idl') + other directories

You have ownership of final and move things manually into the final tree
once they are finished.
