Actually, I use DJGPP, MingW32, and LCC-WIN32 (depending on the
target machine for specific projects) and instead of trying to set them 
all up to be available at all times, I just put the environment settings 
needed for any particular compiler in a batch file.

So I have fixdj.bat, fixlcc.bat and fixming.bat and just run whichever
one is appropriate when I open a dos-box. (Note that when you close 
the dos-box you'll have to run it again when you open them)
This is definately easier to handle and less prone to errors than any 
other method I've seen offered. (You could set up different shortcuts 
to command.com and add different environment settings on the 
advanced dialog in properties, but then you'll be booting in and out of 
windows to switch, and that just takes too long IMHO.

good luck.
