The easiest thing, I'd think, would be just to install the HEAD with  
an entirely different basedir and don't touch your existing install  
at all.  That way it is a simply matter of running a different  
executable to switch between the old and the new.  That's what I did  
here, at any rate, and it worked nicely, but my living-room is  
certainly not a production environment.  Stay tuned for possible  
contradictions from the pros.
