Good god, that's unbelievable. And for the record, I can't even get these 2 suggestions to work.
I must be crazy, but it seems like the path of least resistance is to somehow open the file in BBedit and have it run the script automatically, then force-save the file so Xcode immediately sees the change.
I suppose it's time to file a bug: "Add scripting back to Xcode 4"? ;-)
