Ah.  That makes way more sense.  :-)

How much does this stuff you want to put up weigh?  How many rafters are 
you going to miss?

I'd be tempted to glue it and nail it, if it wasn't pretty heavy and you 
weren't going to miss too many rafters.

Otherwise, if the stuff is designed to go directly onto studs, I wouldn't 
think there'd be a problem using 1x4 or whatever boards as lathes like you 
mentioned.  If that wouldn't work because its flexible enough to sag, 
you'd need to glue it anyway, so I'd be back to option #1.
