I am trying to build an MCL image through the "Save Application" dialog,
but when I do this I run into a small difficulty. I have some
conditional evaluation going on with #+:ccl which doesn't work right
when you go through the dialog. Since I am using a ccl specific call in
this condition, and since the project is meant to be ported to other
platforms, I don't want to remove the conditionality of the code.

Is there some symbol that AppGen or the dialog checks when it creates
images? That way, I could double up the #+:ccl with, say, #+:appgen and
get the desired result without losing portability.

Ultimately, the goal is to produce an AppGen application, but one step
at a time... :) I'll worry about the next step when I have the image
created properly.
