I'm doing some pcb-rnd/pcb <-> pcbnew file conversion test.

Is there anyone here who knows how to run kicad v4.0.7 and v5.1.0 side 
by side so I can test and compare ?

Currently I build and istalled kicad, footprints, libraries and the 
3dthings in:
 /usr/local/kicad_4.0.7/
 /usr/local/kicad_5.1.0/
and I can start them as /usr/local/kicad_xxx/bin/pcbnew, but they are
using the same config files in ~/.config/kicad/.

Is there a way I can tell them to use different configs ?
