 * From: "Akinori -Aki- MUSHA" <knu@idaemons.org>

 * I don't get it...  How come one wants more than two versions installed
 * at once?

To test out the new version before deleting the older one?

 * 2) If their versions are compatible: Installing both of them sounds
 * nonsense.  The latter overwrites the earlier installation and then the
 * pkg registry of the latter just get stale...

Yes, it doesn't make much sense now.  That's why I mentioned the
symlink tree method for how to actually implemnet it.
