Open terminal (or screen) windows for two subdirectories of the combined
tree and in each modify a file which causes configure to be rerun (e.g.
Makefile.am if using automake) and then run "make".

(Not a contrived example - this is how I work most of the time.  I use
the combined tree because we have a bootstrap script which sets things
up for testing "in tree" which is simpler and less error-prone than
having to remember to "make install" on the dependencies of the module
you want to test).
