Is there a way of mimicking the alternative profiles of other browsers on Safari?

The actual problem is one of opening two different twitter accounts at once, but could equally apply to more than one gmail etc. account.


The text book technique (FF, Chrome) I think is to start browser instances each with a different profile for each different twitter account.


Is there a way of doing this with Safari?


Thanks in advance,

Safari-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

In theory at least WebKit could have a different cookie file location set for each browser window/tab by the looks... setPreferencesIdentifier


But I think this is more or less hardcoded into the browser settings to be a default and not a lot else. The Info.Plist file (right click on application icon) might have a setting, in which case maybe an instance of Safari could be invoked with a different cookie file location - not sure though I don't have a Mac in front of me!
