The versions I want aren't so far apart, I want official 0.46 and a new dev build, maybe one more dev build if possible.

Just compile any dev version and put the executable file anywhere you want, renaming it to some appropriate name. It will work with 0.46 files and prefs and vice versa. The worst you will get is some harmless warnings about unknown verbs or missing icons. In this way I have executables for all versions of Inkscape, and down to 0.40 they all work, although with more and more complaints as you go back in time. Only 0.39 and older can't run at all and crash - probably because they were compiled so long ago that the libraries have changed since.
