Debian for years has been running a system where multiple versions can
be co-installed and if you call pg_dumpall it calls the right pg_dump,
you just have to indicate the cluster you want to operate on.

Porting it to Windows could be tricky though, given its use of symlinks
and wrapper scripts.

Have a nice day,
