I find the concept of diverting urine actually freakish. Don't play with the stuff. Build a box with a seat over a 5 gallon bucket. Start a regular compost heap. Periodically dig a hollow spot into the compost heap where it is nice and hot and empty the bucket there. Rinse the bucket out there to complete the emptying process then cover with regular compost. This compost heap should be somewhere that you are going to plant something eventually like a tree. It is hard to ensure that the poop gets thoroughly heated so I rely on a year or two of curing time to kill off stragglers. If you do everything right though you can theoretically put humanure on food crops. I think that most problems arise from the pressure to get the manure back into the fields quickly in developing countries or anywhere that corners are cut really.
