I just put RELEASE_VERSION in the Setting column and 2.3.3 in the Value
column. Didn't work. Output is still an empty string.

YES! That worked! Very strange. So, as you can see from the final, working
Info.plist file which I've pasted in below, the things that Xcode replaces
DO want the ${...}, but the things that the gcc preprocessor replaces do NOT
want the ${...}. Intuitive!!
Now I understand why Apple hasn't gotten around to writing any detailed
documentation on this. I think I'll go clean my garage....
Thanks, Greg, and all.
