I added ~/bin to my path, then created shell scripts there with
distinctive names:
,----[ ~/bin/emacs ]
| /home/billw/software/emacs/src/emacs -q -l /home/billw/mnt/raid/emacs/home/.emacs
`----
,----[ ~/bin/wriemacs ]
| /home/billw/software/emacs/src/emacs -q -l /home/billw/mnt/raid/emacs/wri/.emacs
`----
/home/billw/software/emacs/ is my checkout dir from savannah, compiled
in place.
Cheers -
