I don't like magic properties either, but this approach would move
from a single magic property for all projects to a project specific
one.
Ant2 will solve this with preferences (a way to set the compiler
attribute of cc unless it has been set explicitly) - for Ant1 I'd
stick with a hardcoded default for the platform.

possible - but restrict the list of probes based on the current
platform.
