Hi Brad,
I just tried out the July 15th nightly build and it looks like it is
working (Xcode generator). I got a little fancy and did an intermixed
C/Swift test. I have a simple SDL (C) based program with Swift
bindings and I'm able to build/run it and step the Xcode debugger
through the Swift parts.

Cosmetically, the Swift files are not being grouped with the other
C/Obj-C files in the "Source Files" group. But that is a pretty minor
thing. (There are other things more important to me I would like to
see fixed in the Xcode generator first :))

So is the next step the Makefile generator?

Thanks,
Eric
