SharePoint WSP部署多个环境并使用SPWebConfigModification

Question

I have SharePoint feature that modifies the web.config (using the SPWebConfigModification class) to add the DB connection string. But this connection string is different for the 3 envrionments I have.

My question is there any way for me to externalize this connection string so that the WSP picks up this connection during deployment? Currently my only options seems to be create WSP Project per environment and generate multiple WSP that do exactly the same thing.

Thanks
