According to Buchbinder, Barry (NIH/NIAID) [E] on 8/15/2006 11:50 AM:

Use two different copies of setup (c:\cygwin\arc\setup.exe and c:\cygwin_old\arc\setup.exe) each with its own package repository (c:\cygwin\arc and c:\cygwin_old\arc) to maintain them.  Then use only one at a time and start them with batch files.  Note that you can run multiple cygwin windows at a time but they all have to be started from the same batch file.  (Modify to your specifics and taste.)

And this fails as soon as you want to run services, such as sshd.  We know
what we are saying when we say that the only SUPPORTED configuration is a
single installation, and you are on your own if you try side-by-side
installations.
