An easy way to switch the compiler is nice, but I think that it would be  
nicer if it could be organized in compiler profiles so you can have  
compilers with the same version but with or without debug info or compiled  
with different options. Then a compiler profile could be  
specified/selected by build mode so it could be stored in the session or  
the project file. :)
