With the advent of Mac OS X 10.4.10 this obviously had to change:

Xcode 3.0 isn't publicly available and I didn't bother to download  
2.5 yet, so I can't tell you the new numbers.

You'll find a lot of heated discussion about this in the past years  
of this list. Get your flame-proof suit handy ;-)

Shell scripts can be run with a shell script build phase. You likely  
want to put this build phase into a separate target, since it's not  
needed that often. As Mac OS X's build environment changes every few  
years only, you could even consider a fixed config_mac_os_x.h (or  
similar).

GNUstep on top of X on top of Cocoa ... no chance to get the apple- 
apple-apple combo back working?
