OK, thanks.  For now, I can live with package-level options,
but I do think that it would be nice to have finer grain support
in the future.

I'm not sure how to specify this, but you're right, it can be
messy and hard to abstract into the GUI.  Maybe it could be
handled on the "compile" line, like we currently do for the
destination?
  compile -options="-DEXTRA" file.c
