What is a project?

I'm having a curious problem. In a school environment, I want to set up an Xcode project, store it on the server, and allow my students to take copies of it as the starting point for their projects. The server is not a Macintosh, it is a Windows domain server. And something gets lost in translation. On a machine other than the originating machine, the project comes out looking like a folder. It has lost its Xcode identity.

I look into the matter more closely. .xcodeproj objects are in fact folders, they act like "package" folders, you can ask it to "show package contents", but they do not actually have the package bit set. Using a utility like file Buddy to set the package bit does not help this problem.

So the question is, how does Xcode identify that a folder is in fact an Xcode project file? And how can I maintain or reconstruct that identity while passing it through a non-Macintosh server?

Thanks,
Ken
