Alexey: Since the Executor classname itself is specified as an option, rather than in a buildfile, my opinion would be that specifications that interact with an Executor should be externally configurable. At the same time it would be nice to maintain Target exclusivity information with the targets themselves. My first instinct would be to use project-level properties. You should want to execute the default "" target first in any event, I would think, so at that point project-level properties would be available, yet can still be overridden externally. I would expect these properties to be of a dynamic nature, but you should be able to use PropertySets to help you with that.
