How do I keep two different versions of Minecraft installed?

Question

When a major version of Minecraft is released, it takes a while before mods are updated to work with it. It can happen that you want to install the new version, but keep a copy of the old version with mods installed.

Windows version keeps data in %appdata%/.minecraft regardless of the executable's version. Is it possible to keep two versions of Minecraft installed at the same time, without conflicts?

Answer

Well, this is a random and untested answer, but if Minecraft really puts the data in %AppData% then couldn't you just make batch files which set %AppData% to some other location before running the game?
