Very smart indeed! Using symbolic link you can have a .bat or startup script do this for you (example):

Let's assume you are in the \WoW folder with the game files, you make a bat with:

Code:
mklink /D /J "Interface" "Interface_Bob"
mklink /D /J "WTF" "WTF_Bob"
Futher more we assume that "Interface_Bob" and "WTF_Bob" are folders for the user Bob. When you log Bob you can run the .bat and the Interface and WTF folders will point to the "_Bob" unique folders.

Logging on another user you would have to of course use new folders and names for the unique addon settings.

You can rmdir the Interface and WTF before doing the mklink to avoid overwrite issues (not sure if there are any tough), all I know is you can remove a symlink folder or file without removing any of the original and actual data.
