Yeah, random notes in the developer readme.  needs much work.

I suppose I'm a bit terse in the main readme... that's mostly from the  
original readme when I played around with Xcode a couple years ago.   
At the time I guess I was assuming Xcode familiarity.

Suggestions for user-friendliness welcome.  One idea just occurred to  
me - a shell script to generate qgis_user.xcconfig.  I can use stuff  
from my build scripts for my frameworks.  Accepting defaults would  
really just make an empty file (Xcode complains if it's missing).  I  
should be able to get the different levels of configuration handled in  
a friendly way (those levels were meant to be friendly themselves, but  
require manual editing right now).
