In general, you shouldn't be constrained by Fourier condition time step
bounds if the equations are combined into one matrix (which you can do on
trunk).

Unlikely. You really need to use trunk to see the benefits I would think.

Definitely. I don't know if you have used virtualenv, but it is a great
help when switching between different versions of packages. You can then
use "python setup.py develop", which feels like an installation without
actually installing.

Not sure. What exactly are you going to copy and paste? Either use
virtualenv or set the python path to point at the base fipy directory after
you checkout trunk.

No problem.
