wine users - Aug 2010 - How to run multiple wine versions on same machine?

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with Wine 1.1.42 from the repo.  Is it possible to
also install Wine 1.3 and run them alternatively (eg not at the same time)? 
I'd like to experiment with Wine 1.3 while leaving 1.1.42 untouched until it
gets updated in the repo.

The easiest way would be to leave your 1.1.42 package installed, and build 1.3.0
yourself and run it from the build directory.

Got it, thanks, much appreciated.

There is only one restriction - you can only run one wineserver for any
particular WINEPREFIX.
