[dev] Running multiple versions

[Martin Fraser]

Thanks Michael.

I'm doing this now and found the ini_path part of core.php but the 
comment is unclear.

Just to clarify that I have done the right thing before I break my 
stable setup. I'm planning on changing

// ini_set('include_path', dirname(__FILE__) . PATH_SEPARATOR . 
ini_get('include_path'));

to

ini_set('include_path', '/path/to/horde_dev/pear' . dirname(__FILE__) . 
PATH_SEPARATOR . ini_get('include_path'));

assuming I create a directory called pear under where I've installed my 
head version of horde and use the symlink script you referenced.

I really don't want to mess up my current pear install by sticking all 
the head versions over the FW_3 versions so I don't want to just try 
this and see if it works.

Thanks.

Martin...
