Hm, so is the correct approach on Windows to provide separate shell

If tools conflict, they need a form of isolation. Like... make install
3 versions of gcc on your system and make them work.
What causes conflict? Is it just optilink? Maybe it would be more
reasonable to simply rename it to something less generic? DMD doesn't
look like something that inherently requires isolation.
Taking your example, installing 3 versions of gcc simultaneously is not
that problematic if you don't need them all to be called `gcc`.
That's the problem with Windows - every linker is just 'link', same goes
for one hundred of incompatible 'make'-s...
