I don't see anything in here about supporting different versions.  Any 
idea how that's going to work?  For stand-alone installations, of course, 
different versions can be installed completely separately, something like 
--prefix=/opt/parrot-0.8.2 (though that really needs my previous rpath 
patch to be useful) but for the various Linux distributions that may 
someday want to have both (say) parrot-1.0 and parrot-1.5 simultaneously 
installed under /usr, what's the plan?
