Is there anything in Xcode equivalent to CodeWarrior's property

miss the ability to set the version string in one place and have it
automatically used in the copyright string, version fields, etc.
In case there are any other CW refugees out there with a similar
problem here's the solution I came up with to reduce my version
string to a single location.
1) In the project or target build settings (I'm not sure if one is
preferable to the other) add two custom items. For example:
PRODUCT_VERSION 1.0
COPYRIGHT_NOTICE ($PRODUCT_VERSION), Copyright 2006, My Company
2) In the target's properties settings (select the target, get info,
and choose the "Properties" tab) set the "Version" field to
($PRODUCT_VERSION).
3) In the Info.plist file set the value of the CFBundleGetInfoString
key to: <string>$(COPYRIGHT_NOTICE)</string>
If you have an NSHumanReadableCopyright key it should have the same
value.
This assumes the copyright notice isn't localized.
Now any change to the PRODUCT_VERSION build setting will propagate
through to the version and copyright entries of the Info.plist file.
It looks like other things are possible by enabling plist
preprocessing in the build settings but I haven't needed that.
