if that is what you're after, you may be able to put an if-statement in
your .emacs to test for the special circumstances in which you need to use
this different set of customisations. if these are circumstances that emacs
itself cannot test for, you can always call emacs with something like
emacs --eval "(setq load-my-other-dot-emacs t)"
and test for the value of load-my-other-dot-emacs.
