By default multiple major.minor versions should co-exist side-by-side 
with no problems, as will unicode/ansi, debug/release, and 
static/shared.  To have side-by-side installs of builds with other 
configuration options than these you can use different flavours when you 
configure (--with-flavour=NAME) and then use the flavour name when 
running wx-config to select the build.
