Well, taking another look at the project, I probably misspoke 
about the environment variable and makefiles, and in fact, I'm 
not sure how it builds successfully.

If you were to sit at a new machine, set up source, then build, 
what would the steps be? I'm guessing there's at least one build 
that has to be done before the xcodebuild in the uimacnew folder?

If so, I think what's happening is that depending on how you 
perform the build, intermediate objects (*.o files) are being 
written to different locations.

Xcode itself has a set of preferences under the Building tab 
which dictate where stuff goes. On my machine, Build Products 
goes to ~/Projects/build, and Intermediate files go with the 
build products.

In addition to this, each project file can override this setting 
(in the General tab of the project settings).

If you have phases that are build with make, then those files 
are typically intermingled with the source until you run an 
install phase.

Is there a list of instructions for building Unison entirely 
from scratch? Now you've got my curiosity. :-)
