I was at Powell's technical today, and did they every have a book for you:
Lloyd Kahn's Septic System Owners' Manual (rev). Included an early 20th
century composter built from a wooden barrel...

Thought about something else... what does it cost to plumb a bathroom?
Pipe ain't cheap, either, and plumbers are downright pricey...

g'day eigenvector,

we sued a composting toilet when we lived in rural, they are the
greatest product out and if fitted to all homes would save lots of
water resources in our drought ridden towns.

the one we used was natur-loo (you will be able to google a link to
their site), even if you can't get it over there it will give you a
look at waht is a very simple versatile system, with very minimal
mechanical application involved (if you have good wind where you are
then there is no need for the electric driven vent fans).

we ran ours as dry system meaning all but incidental urines was kept
out of the system (that is better used fresh onto food trees or
gardens), we were very pleased.
