Currently, aside from the .pbfilespec and .pblangspec file (which can
be used to provide syntax coloring and file type information), there
isn't much support for integrating "other" languages into Xcode. We
also have newer features like build rules (see the 'Rules' tab of the
target inspector) and we provide the "GNU Makefile target" which can be
use more generically to drive an external build system, but our main
focus is on the C family of languages (C, C++, ObjC, ObjC++, Java, and
AppleScript.
I think it's fair to say that, in the long run, many of us on the team
would like to see Xcode be able to deal better with these "other'
languages, but for now our focus is on improving the support for the
core set of languages above.
