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 -
