You could do it with the generation expression.  Either have two copies, one
of which excludes it (e.g.)

VMMaker
generate: CoInterpreter
to: (FileDirectory default / '../src') fullName
platformDir: (FileDirectory default / '../platforms') fullName
excluding:#(BrokenPlugin SlangTestPlugin TestOSAPlugin
FFIPlugin ReentrantARMFFIPlugin ReentrantFFIPlugin ReentrantPPCBEFFIPlugin
NativeBoostPlugin NewsqueakIA32ABIPlugin NewsqueakIA32ABIPluginAttic)

or choose the interpreter via a menu and put some logic to test for it being
NBCoInterpreter.
