Best way to dual boot Leo & Snow Leo with Chameleon RC3?

I'm testing Snow Leo like mostly everybody else here. I'm currently booting SL from a USB stick, but I would prefer to just use the same chameleon loader I'm using for Leopard, how do you think is the best way to achieve this?
I understand Chameleon RC3 has support for loading a different set of extensions for 10.5 and 10.6 automatically but I tested this and never worked for me, probably because I did it wrong, most likely because that feature (like many of the great chameleon's features) is not documented or explained anywhere.
Did anyone manage to do that succesfully?
Alternatively I could always resort to putting 10.5 extensions in Chameleon's extra and 10.6 extensions in SnowLeo's S/L/E, but how do I go about chameleon's boot.plist? Can Chameleon RC3 read a different boot.plist apart from the one in extra?

My setup for now is like this:

Disk1 (MBR):
BootIt (FAT32)
Vista(NTFS)
Leopard+Chameleon(HFS)
Data(NTFS)
Fedora 11(EXT)

Disk2 (GPT)
TimeMachine+Data (HFS)
SnowLeo (HFS)
