attached script seems to work, running it like 

 Kicad 4.0.7 kicad zz.pro
 Kicad 5.1.0 pcbnew zz.kicad_pcb
etc.

where I
cd kicad git top dir
git co 4.0.7
mkdir build_4.0.7
cd build_4.0.7
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/kicad_4.0.7 ..
make -j3 install

mkdir ~/kicad/4.0.7

and ditto for different versions, kicad-footprints,
kicad-packages3d and kicad-symbols.

still, the first time I run a kicad version, I have to setup
footprint and symbol paths...
