Because with Xcode the problem of including headers from a source base
located in a separate area of the disk (like PowerPlant, for example)
breaks into two related parts:
1) specifying the headers (either by adding the headers to the project
or using search paths)
2) referencing the headers in a way that is portable for other users
It's this second part that Source trees helps to solve. At this point
I'm sorry for even mentioning it as an aside :(

Look for all the "search paths" settings in the Build tab of your
target. Yes, the UI sucks for showing the search paths (more generally,
we need a better way to show settings that are a list of strings), but
the information is there.

Nope, what I am suggesting is that talking to any Apple engineer about
an issue without filing a bug:
a) doesn't guarantee that the issue will get to the person or persons
responsible.
b) doesn't guarantee that the people responsible for fixing the bug
will have a way to contact you for more info, verification of a fix,
etc.

Thank you. The case you filed points out that we need to search the
various search paths for the active target before we fall back to the
set of user-defined paths.
