How can I add a tokenized parameter to a web.config file so it shows up in SetParameters.xml?

Question

I need to be able to add a single parameter in the AppSettings section to the SetParameters.xml file that is generated during a TFS build for deploying using MSDeploy. Currently only connection strings get tokenized.

How can I add a key from the AppSettings section?
