In addition, has anyone ever looked at simplifying the mac port's xcode project?  It's _by far_ the heaviest burden on the project given that you pretty much need to use xcode (which is mac only...no other port requires this), exported linker symbols are in a separate file, extra effort to expose a new file in WTF to WebCore, extra effort to expose a new file in WebCore to WebKit, etc.  Has anyone recently looked at how the mac build could be simplified--especially from the perspective of contributors whose main development platform isn't a mac?

i completely agree with jeremy. is it possible to at least drop the cryptic hashcodes/timestamps? without them, the .xcodeproj files should at least be editable by hand.
