In poking through my project's target I see that the automatically-generated
values use macros in parentheses like:


$(PROJECT_DIR)
$(SRCROOT)

and in Info.plist I see macros in curly brackets like

${PRODUCT_NAME}
${EXECUTABLE_NAME}

They would probably be quite useful to me if someone could point me at their
documentation. A complete list of them would be nice!

Also, is there any way to specify a relative pathname in, say, a search
path? For example, I'd like to go up to the project's parent directory and
then down into a different directory. I've tried many combinations of ".."
and "/" with $(PROJECT_DIR) but no luck.

Try $(SRCROOT)/../path/to/cousin/folder

Use parens inside Xcode.
Use braces when the build setting is used outside Xcode, for example, in a shell script (as each build setting is transmuted into an equivalent shell environment variable, and the shell uses braces to expand env vars)
