I'm off teh clock today, so I'll keep this short, but the answers to
your questions are:
1) Yep, that's how it's done.
2) http://repository.egi.eu/mirrors/EMI/tarball/
Specifically this tarball:
http://repository.egi.eu/mirrors/EMI/tarball/cvmfsdevel/
Look also in the grid.cern.ch cvmfs repo.
3) My documentation is a bit crusty:

Hopefully that's enough info. I was going to suggest a workflow where I
take your stuff and hammer it into the tarballs, rather then you take
the tarballs and hammer your stuff into it (sorry for being so
technical), but my hands are full of SL6 upgrade, a move to SGE and
glEXec so if we want this looked at this month it might be best for you
to take a peek, and we can take this offline.
Cheers, and have a good weekend all,
Matt
