Because the script solution works TODAY with Xcode 2.5 and 3.x.

Because today's (or yesterdays) Xcode doesn't look in the
<InfoPlist.strings> file for ORGANIZATIONNAME; it looks for it in the
dictionary of the PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions default settings for
Xcode (and failing that uses the Address Book entry).

Granted the script solution isn't perfect but short of a possible future
Xcode fix (that probably won't work with Xcode 2.5 or 3.1.2, etc.) it's
better than the developer having to remember to change the Xcode default or
the Address Book entry manually.
