Anyway, I'm just wondering if there's anything we can do with Xcode 2.x to
help enforce the guidelines Apple set down about Secure Coding. And if not,
hopefully what can be done could be done in Xcode 3.x.

No that I know of. I believe MS has marked some of those functions as deprecated in its newest tools, I'd like to see Apple do that. You could probably do the same by hacking your headers and using the DEPRECATED_ATTRIBUTE #define from AvailabilityMacros.h. Then fix all your warnings.

Apple, if you're listening, please, PLEASE do not mark standard library functions deprecated that really aren't. I'm understand the desire for some of the more dangerous functions but strlen is _not_ deprecated and microsoft pretending that it is is simply stupid. It's very annoying to use a standard function only to find that other people on the project using Windows cannot build because MS has decided to remove/rename/deprecate the function.
