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.
