You don't need to build or install anything. Make a test config file
that looks something like this:
(add-to-list 'load-path "<path to org mode repo>/lisp/")
(require 'org)
You can put any other settings you want to test in here. Assuming the
above file is called org-config.el, start emacs like so:
emacs -q -l /path/to/test/config/file

No, you can use "emacs -q" to avoid loading your main init file.
