Well, we won't officially support simultaneous installs of subversions.
What I do plan to do is allow subversions to reside in
/usr/lib/perl5.00504 or whatever for the subversion. They wouldn't
provide a /usr/bin/perl but only a /usr/bin/perl5.00504.
I figure that this would primarily be used if you wanted to install
development track versions.
