Now I'm curious as to why you're even using Xcode for this project, rather than just using make or jam as you must be on Linux. What's the reason for it?

A large number of developers do run very large cross-platform projects where they manage Xcode and Visual Studio projects by hand. They also operate under constraints such as always getting clean builds that pass all unit tests from the main line of development in their source repository. And so on. The differentiating factor is that typically in such projects, the developers working on them only expect code to be built once it's added to an IDE project file, not as a side-effect of existing in a particular directory. This is in contrast to some makefile-driven projects, where everything that can be identified as a source file in a particular directory or subdirectory gets built. (Other makefile-driven projects work more like IDE projects, and explicitly state what to build.)

Since it sounds like you're maintaining an environment where you want to build whatever is in a particular directory, and you already have an infrastructure for doing so on Linux, the path of least resistance may be to use the same technique on Mac OS X. Especially if you're never actually *using* Xcode and are just using it to create project files to build.
