Easy, just change the PREFIX to a different location when you compile
and initdb in a different dir than the first. If you plan to use TCP/IP
you'll probably want to specify a different default port as well.

If you don't create/user a seperate user than your main Pg(for the
PGDATA, etc. env vars) just make sure to call /full/path/to/pg_ctl and
specify where it's data resides with the -D flag.
