[dev] Run head and an older version on the same machine.

[Amith Varghese]

Quoting eculp at encontacto.net:

If you have your "old" version in /var/www/html/mail/horde, put a  
.htaccess file with the following contents:

php_value include_path ".:/var/www/html/mail/php"

Make a directory called /var/www/html/mail/php that has a copy of the  
framework that matches the version of horde you have in  
/var/www/html/mail/horde.

Note, if you are using kronolith and using cron to call reminders.php  
you have to execute it like this:

/usr/bin/php -d include_path=".:/var/www/html/mail/php"  
/var/www/html/mail/horde/kronolith/scripts/reminders.php

In general I keep the freshest version of the framework CVS in the  
normal PHP/PEAR directory.  When I decide I want to update it, I copy  
the current version to a directory, set it up as mentioned above, and  
then update.   You should be able to run as many versions of Horde as  
you want using this strategy.
