I think dynamic choices should be possible – IIRC, std::strings are
used for arguments, but even if not, we're dealing with C++, so we can
allocate "on the stack".

We can do this on gnome-team, we still have some leftover world
rebuilds from 44.10.  I'd prefer if stuff that rebuilds webkitgtk on
master were grafted, as it causes more than the prescribed 300 rebuilds
and is a nasty build itself.

Cheers
