Summary:                    Xcode projects misuses targets for ALL_BUILD; it
should use a scheme instead
Description: 
When generating an Xcode project from a CMakeLists.txt with one target, the
resultant project contains three targets: the user's target, ALL_BUILD, and
ZERO_CHECK. It then makes all targets depend on ZERO_CHECK, and makes ALL_BUILD
depend on all other targets.

However, the Xcode documentation specifies "Projects can contain one or more
targets, each of which produces one product." - so ALL_BUILD is not the intended
use of targets. CMake should instead create an Xcode scheme, which depends on
all of the user's Xcode targets.

Additional Information: 
Debatably, ZERO_CHECK shouldn't be a target - and ZERO_CHECK's only build phase
should instead be a build phase present in every other target. However, you
could argue that it does produce a product (ie. the Xcode project itself).
