That is part of the mystery. I assume that this backing store has an obtuse
name, and is NOT something like *.xcodeproj? Cuz I am unable to find
anything based on the project name that I had initially chosen.

As best that I can recall, I was messing around with the deployment settings
(location and directory). Since my target exe has the same name as the
containing folder of this project and its sources, I "think" that somehow my
deployment settings were such that Xcode installed the tool I was creating
in the same folder as the project folder that I was developing. The result
was that the project was folder was discarded! No doubt that I did something
stupid.
I do remember that I blindly deleted the exe that resulted from this error -
not even thinking that I was in my development tree. After that Xcode
reconstructed my folders when it did a build. I also remember that I had to
resave my sources that Xcode had cached.
Weird state of affairs! I guess the bug (if any) is that the deployment
processing discarded a folder to allow it to install its "product".
Anyway, I now I have a project that I cannot save. The "icon" is NOT
present, so I cannot follow a path to my project so I can recover it. I have
searched the entire system without success; I even searched /tmp, /private
(via find(1)), and found nothing there...
So it would seem today I will rebuild the project; at least I do have a
"working" project to serve as a template - so it should go fast...
