But perhaps we can make this much simpler. How about adding an option that selects how much is built with some easy to remember names? Something like:

--build-type=minimal (default single variant)

--build-type=complete (as many variants as possible)

And what would be the behaviour of use specified --build-type=XXX together with some explicit options. Well, I actually know the most easily implementable one, but I'm not sure it will be intuitive.

1) Ignore "--build-type", possibly emit a warning, and behave as currently? 2) Expand the build type, add/override the explicit options? / Johan
