Comment (by teor):

 It doesn't seem that difficult now I'm most of the way through...

 The current status is:
 1. Almost done, need to work out how to get header & library paths from
 configure/Makefile

 2. Done, Xcode has an "External Build System" target for Makefiles, I have
 created two targets, one which uses the existing configure invocation, and
 one which runs configure inside Xcode.

 3. Almost done, can build all generated .i files and architecture-specific
 orconfig.h (x86_64 & i386) as required. Dependencies still need to be
 sorted out, but that's nice-to-have for build speed. (Who wants to run
 configure every time they build?)

 4. The most common case here is a new file, which can be detected
 automatically using find and grep, then manually added to the tor, test,
 bench, test-bt-cl and/or test-ntor-cl targets as appropriate. We can even
 print out the relevant Makefile variables to assist the dev. Instructions
 for this aren't hard.

 I'm just working through testing the new project file - I'll push it to
 GitHub once it's done.
