    I am new around here (so may be talking nonsense), but under
    linux I separated 1.99.1 from my system-wide installation
    of 1.9.1 by configuring using the "--prefix" option (see
    configure --help), and specifying a directory in under
    /home/username. I then did "make install" as user rather
    than as root. The experimental abiword can then be run from
    the /bin directory under the relevant /home sub-directory
    without disturbing the system-wide files.
