Being one of those who griped about the "counter-intuitiveness", I have to
say that in this particular case, my intuition did *not* lead me to the
Styles tab first, I assumed that it made sense to define things of this kind
in the Target.
Having said that, my intuition also suggested that there is rarely going to
be a situation where you want a different "header search path" for a
development build as opposed to a deployment one. (Library search path,
sure, I might want to keep debug builds available in seperate directories).
So I think its foolish that XCODE allows styles to modify header search
paths.
(Having said *that*, I can see where cross-compilation, where you have
different "styles" building to different SDKs, might want it. So I'll shut
up on whats "intuitive" - the complaint reduces to "its too damn flexible,
handing way too much rope to the novice user who invariably hangs himself")
