Don't do a 'make install'. Keep the object files and executables in the
source directory and run from there. You will of course have to use
WINEPREFIX as well, to keep the registry and stuff seperate, as well as
to insure that the correct wineserver is being used.
BTW, programs being run under different wineservers will not be able to
see each other.
