For standard distribution (AKA the OpenSC WindowsInstaller) there should not be 
such option. It is the same on Linux or OS X: only one instance (version) of a 
package can be installed.

I would suggest statically compiling the custom version and using it however 
you find necessary or combining 

Adding a separate build step to the default makefiles for *building* static 
binaries in parallel with current ones would be nice and OK.
But the MSI script of the installer should be tailored for "most appropriate 
delivery method for 80% use cases/users" where the current dependency on a 
central libopensc.dll seems justified to me at least.

Cheers,
Martin
