Only environments like MSVC have problems when you try to install multiple
versions on the same machine (you can make it work, but it's a real pain). 
GCC has no problem in this arena, and never will (at least that is the
intention).

See http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/ for various 
x86-win32 ports of GCC-2.95. Download, unpack, set PATH and you're set
to go. No registry, not environment variable, no conflict.
