Feature request ahead...

It'd be really useful to have more support for multiple installations, or at least some sort of specification that would allow the community to better support this. There are many module developers who need to test against different versions of node... the simplest use case being tests against the latest stable and the latest dev branches.

The community has produced n, nvm, nvmw, nodist, and other modules to support this... and they're breaking because the installation process continually changes and the module maintainers are moving to other projects. This whole thing is especially painful on Windows.

Since this is a common need across all operating systems, it seems like the standard for handling multiple installations should come from the top.
