It really depends how tech savvy your friend is.  There is no simple
functionality to make SlimServer use different libraries.  For awhile I
had a his and hers library, but involved 2 SlimServers, 1 MySQL, iTunes,
and Solaris.  Not for the faint of heart!

Tell your friend to pick up a low end computer and install a second
SlimServer on it.

It makes me wonder, can SlimServer be made to dynamically re-read it's
prefs file?  Could you maintain a single SlimServer, but have alternate
pref files?  That would easily solve the problem (from a non-developer
standpoint) because the library path is in there, as well as the calls
to MySQL for which database to use.

When I had the setup mentioned with Solaris, I ran my SlimServer in one
zone (global) and my wife's in a sparse-root zone (called slim).  I used
a single MySQL instance running in the global zone to hold both
databases, one called slimserver and the other called itunes.  Worked
like a charm with no cross pollution.
