On Linux, when I have to deal with different versions of whatever
(Lua, libs, compilers, software etc.) I maintain each version on a
separate directory and symlink the "main" directory to the one I'm
using [1]. When I need to switch versions, I only change the symlink.

When I have to do this switch often, I create some helper shell
scripts / aliases.
