Re: dll version collision

What is the correct way for someone to run multiple versions of cygwin on their machine then?

There's none!

since among other uses it would allow a new version to be tested along side an older but known version of cygwin.

Kill all cygwin processes (via net stop or psservice and then via taskman or pskill),
backup the current cygwin1.dll and rename the new (snapshot) cygwin dll to cygwin1.dll,
start the autostarting cygwin processes again (ipc-daemon2, cron, ...),
test it.
