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?
