And to add on that (equivalent of PLTCOLLECTS) -- (eventually) there
will be no straightforward equivalent of PLTHOME, since it might be
spread out on a unix filesystem...  The version that will be running
depends on the executable that your PATH puts first.

[This fixes a hack that makes things weird now:

  env PLTHOME=$HOME/plt-300 $HOME/plt-301/<launcher>

runs the v300 of the launcher, since it's a script that just uses
PLTHOME if set, but

  env PLTHOME=$HOME/plt-300 $HOME/plt-301/mzscheme

runs mzscheme v301 using the wrong collections, since it's not a
launcher script.]
