Expanding build settings in a secondary .plist

Howdy all.

I have a somewhat complex project where I include a secondary .plist file (meaning, it's not any target's primary info.plist. Currently I copy this into its proper place in a custom build script phase.

It's becoming a hassle to keep this file synchronized with settings and I'd like to expand these settings automagically like happens for the main info.plist when INFOPLIST_EXPAND_BUILD_SETTINGS is on.

Now, this seems to happen by calling an internal pseudo-tool which appears in the build log as <com.apple.tools.info-plist-utility>. This appears to be implemented inside the private DevToolsCore framework and I couldn't find out how to call it from my build script.

I had hopes of just being able to put an extra line into my script, like:
	/path/to/info-plist-utility "$SOURCE_ROOT/Special.plist" -expandbuildsettings -o "$UNLOCALIZED_RESOURCES_FOLDER_PATH/Special.plist"
but since there's no real tool, I don't know what to do.

Is this possible with the current Xcode 3.0 or should I file an enhancement request? Any workaround?

TIA,
