Quinnstorm is a community semi-fork of the "vanilla" compiz. It's got 
lots more plugins that are experimental/don't fit perfectly into 
compiz's development plan (e.g. it has Xinerama support that I'd expect 
would be invaluable for you running Twinview. Certainly without it, I'm 
driven up the wall! - note that you'll need a patched Xgl too tho').

If you are using debian or Mandriva Cooker (my flavour) then you'r find 
pre-built packages of each.

Have a look over at www.compiz.net forums and you should find info about 
e.g. Drapper repositories etc. or Raw CVS access if you want to roll 
your own (I did that for a long time!).

Hope that helps.
