You can do this using configurations. Whichever you list first 
will be the default. Then you can use `-c configName` or 
`--config=configName` to build the other one.

You'll want to exclude one of the main functions when building 
the configuration to which it doesn't belong. You can do that 
with version specifications (e.g., add a `cli` version in the cli 
configuration, then `vesrion(cli) void main {...}` in the code). 
Alternatively, if the files the main functions are in are 
self-contained, then you can just exclude the one you don't need 
in each configuration with the `excludeSourceFiles` directive.
