Running two versions of wine?

Is it possible to run two versions of wine on the same machine?

As the latest development version (1.1.22) runs Sam & Max Season One and Myst Masterpiece Edition perfectly but doesn't run realMYST.
But the stable version of wine that comes with Ubuntu 9.04 (1.0.1) can run realMYST and Myst Masterpiece Edition perfectly but won't run Sam & Max Season One.

I was hoping there was a way to have a self contained copy of wine inside the realMYST game directory and have the latest wine system wide.

Easiest way would be to install 1.1.22 from apt-get, and then compile
1.0.1 and install it somewhere in $HOME. Then call it for realMYST
with the full path.

Search the archives, there are previous examples in there.
