I have maintained, for sometimes, 4 to 5 five compiler + a minimal set of libs (oUnit, benchmark, sexplib, findlib) on Windows. It works great but the compiler/libs where installed in different directories. Switching from one compiler to another require changing the PATH variable. This scheme is possible to install 1 official compiler (i.e. debian package) along specific other compiler (CVS version...). For example, you can have /usr/bin/ocaml and /usr/local/ocaml311/bin/ocaml. Adding /usr/local/ocaml311/bin is enough to switch between compiler. Using more advanced scheme is possible but I think you will have a problem of non uniform build script. There is always a build script that doesn't allow you to change /usr/bin/ocaml to /usr/bin/ocaml-3.10.2.
