[Config Files] What can I really modify in a config file?

I'm testing this using Xcode 2.2.1.

I tried setting PRODUCT_NAME in my config file, but it had no effect. I tried clearing the value for PRODUCT_NAME in the dialog so that my config file could rule, but that gives an error when you change it, and again at build time, saying that $(PRODUCT_NAME) is undefined (despite what's in my config file).

This lead me to look at ZERO_LINK behavior. It seems that it doesn't matter what I put in my config file. Whatever is specified in the dialog is what happens. If my config file says NO but the dialog has it checked, Zero Link is on. If my config file says YES but the dialog has it not checked, then Zero Link is off. If the config file and the dialog agree, then I get what I expect, but it's still whatever the dialog says.

If the basic rule is that the build settings dialog overrides the config file, then this makes sense, but it seems to make the build setting management be a total PITA.

So, a question for the Apple employees. Is this the expected behavior? If so, is there any way to tell the build system to ignore the dialog?
What build settings can I specify in a config file and really expect them to influence the build?


Thanks,
Rush
