What's your problem with cwm? Why don't you go s-off with revolutionary and then flash another recovery? You do not have to use cwm recovery. If you really want to avoid it, I would say you should ask the revolutionary team via irc. Maybe they tell how to change recovery before running their program.

what difference does it make to you whether you do or you do not have a custom recovery? Furthermore... I don't even know if flashing a superuser binary would even work on the stock gingerbread so you might not be able to root it.
