Given that you don't want to maintain two separate nibs, I would boil
down the overlap between N1 and N2 into a new nib, N0, that contains
only those elements that exist in both. Depending on the extent of the
non-overlapping pieces, they can either be created programmatically
after N0 is loaded depending on which target is running, or nibs N1
and N2 can contain the remaining pieces such that they can be loaded
in and spliced into N0 (adding new views to tab views, etc etc. If you
design the nib and interface properly to segregate the common and
target-specific functionality, this should be fairly straightforward.
