As mentioned elsewhere, this isn't a new thing. Anyone remember "all
the world's a VAX" ?

It's not that difficult really. I've done it with RedHat (a long time
ago), SuSE and Ubuntu. Simply compile with a different prefix (I
use /opt but anything will do as long as it isn't /usr). This is
easiest with applications, but can be done with libraries as well
although you have to 'fix' the library path to ensure your own
libraries are linked to rather than the system ones.
