Probably kind of basic... but not to me.
I'm running emacs24 (installed from debian pkg system) and now want to
also run emacs-25... (installed from bzr repo).
I'd like to put something in ~/.emacs or even site-start.el (This is a
single user machine), that finds which version of emacs is currently
being started... and then set a few paths and etc differently than
usual, so as to load stuff from the --prefix=path of emacs-25.
Can anyone point me to some examples, that even with my elisp
illiteracy, I might be able to hack up and get to work for my
situation?

(if (>= emacs-major-version 25) ; this is the test, the "if"
(message "You are running Emacs 25! Lucky you.") ; This is the "then"
(ding) ; From here on is the "else"
(message "Time to upgrade, don't you think?"))
emacs-version
emacs-minor-version
Is that what you are looking for?
