Multiple versions of Indy in D7 Pro possible?

I am using Delphi7 a lot even though I have also bought BDS2006.
In D7 the Indy version is 9 and I must keep this because I know for
sure that if I replace the Indy components with version 10 all the
applications built with Indy will stop compiling. :-(
I went through this before when going from Indy8 to Indy9 and the
reason is that the Indy project seems not to care for backwards
compatibility and maintenance of products for the users...
Component properties change names and methods change call parameters
etc without having overloaded versions of the old style available.

Anyway, now I need Indy 10.2 for some updates to the IdHTTP component
for a new project and I am wondering if thers is some possibility to
have both Indy9 and Indy10 installed in Delphi7 at the same time?

If I somehow could keep Indy9 for maintenance and use Indy10 for new
products it would make life easier.

Is this possible at all, and if so how should I go about it?
