I've started using Dorsal for this. I set the installation path to
one of

  $HOME/local/lib/fenics-stable
  $HOME/local/lib/fenics-dev

and then have aliases fenics-stable and fenics-dev for sourcing the
appropriate dolfin.conf.

And I've also disabled building of DOLFIN in the dev configuration
(very easy to do with Dorsal) since I need to rebuild that manually
all the time while working on it.

I also disable building of PETSc, SLEPc, Trilinos etc after the first
install. Then I can just rerun Dorsal to install all the light-weight
fast-changing packages (UFL, UFC, FFC etc).
