Why not allow all 4?
1. Have a build option that the variable is set to by default;
2. An option on firmdl3 over-rides this if required;
3. An option on dll over-rides this if required;
4. An API (macro or in-line sub) to set it from a user program;
5. A (build-time selectable) UI to set it using buttons.
I don't think this would be too hard, and would allow maximum versatility.
