It is for running two versions, but it does not control installation.
Rather it controls what service entries are used:
$ ./configure --help | grep testing
--with-testing[=suffix] use alternate service names
So if you use "--with-testing=-jj", Amanda will use service names
amanda-jj, amandaidx-jj and amidxtape-jj.
If you want to also install into a separate location, use --prefix
or --with-suffixes (I'd use --prefix so I could blow away the test
install easily).
