IMO this combobox is better than the original 2 tab-pages. This way you get 
visual feedback of the changes. The original tab-control was just non-
intuitive.

What if someone wants to define and save new build options?
That was the idea of my configurable build profiles.

I like this combobox, too. I could change my version to use combobox and label 
"Widgetset" as well later.

There is one problem with your solution though: It shows all the controls all 
the time. The original idea with Quick Build Selections was to hide the 
"advanced" options. My solution has a "Hide Details" button for that.
