No, the whole idea is to have multiple compilers installed simultaneous.

Yes, that's the whole idea.

It doesn't have a direct integration with Dub. But that's the other part 
of the idea. Just run "dvm use <compiler_version>" to set the version 
you want to use. When Dub runs DMD it will use the one you chose 
earlier. It works with any tool invoking DMD in the same session as you 
run "dvm use".

This all works on the command line. If you have some form of IDE chose 
the location where DVM installs the compilers. On Posix this will be 
~/.dvm and on Windows this will be 
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\dvm. Then either pick any of the 
following:

* <path_to_dvm>/bin/dmd-<version> - for a specific compiler version

* <path_to_dvm>/bin/dvm-current-dc - the compiler you chose last time 
with "dvm use <version>"

* <path_to_dvm>/bin/dvm-default-dc - the default compiler, set with "dvm 
use <version> -d"
