Summary:                    Xcode: Use "Link Binary With Libraries" build phase
when possible
Description: 
According to the FAQ at [1], the "Link Binary With Libraries" is not used
because it does not support flags such as "-lfoo". However, the correct build
phase should be used when possible, ie. when the full path to the library is
known.

Additional Information: 
This feature has a huge impact when working with multiple "loosely coupled"
projects that are all being developed simultaneously in their respective build
trees. Such projects can be combined in a single Xcode workspace. Currently, all
projects must be built and updated manually. Using the "Link Binary With
Libraries" build phase would automatically take care of updating necessary
dependencies.
