You shouldn't need complete installations for each "instance." You could 
install the client in one location, then create a directory for each 
instance containing a copy of the etc directory (and files) and tmp, then 
symlink the rest of the directories in it (bin ext and runbb.sh).

Upgrading will be somewhat sloppy as you'll have to propagate changes in 
the etc files to each instance.
