Yep to the symbolic link.
I wanted to play with both calibre 5 AND 6. So I left my existing non portable calibre 5 install in place, installed calibre 6 portable. Created a symbolic link in the portable install to my existing calibre 5 library, copied the preferences from 5 to portable and tada.
I can run 5 as is, and 6 portable. The only difference is the configuration directory.
Expect me in the near future to add in a few more portable versions.
