seems to me, the "least invasive way", would be to let the builder set
them directly, and not to have it in "the build system" at all.

Or, if it is in the build system, have ONE SINGLE top level override,
that only gets set in extreme cases, and gets set only on a
per-project basis. (ie: no "default" use of it).
