xcode-select has no effect on which command line tools are installed, 
that is, in /usr/bin et al.  Only one version of command line tools can 
be installed at a time and, AFAIK, that is accomplished through the 
Installer.app or Xcode -> Downloads -> Components.  If you have the path 
to a particular command line tools installer package, presumably you 
could also use /usr/sbin/installer directly.   Otherwise, to run command 
line tools supplied with an Xcode 3 or 4 release regardless of whether 
they are currently the installed version, xcrun can be used to find the 
path to a tool and xcode-select provides the default release for xcrun 
if not otherwise overridden.
