Now that I'm not rushing as much, I seem to be making some progress.  
If I can sort this out, I will try to take a stab at more detail. You  
forget how much less than you we know about this stuff. ;-)

The main problem is sorting out silly things like how to properly add  
a source as a relative project to the Xcode project. I got past that
