The settings you do at compile-time are built into the binaries, but
they should all be configurable via the hobbitserver.cfg settings.

But doing a re-compile/re-install to a different Hobbit home directory
is probably the easiest. You must also run the two with different 
user-ID's, to avoid getting the shared-memory segments and semaphores
from the two Hobbit servers mixed up.

And since they'll conflict over port 1984, either use a different port
number for one of them, or a different IP-address.
