Thank you for working on this. Schema creation is a longstanding user
request? Could you modify your generator so that one can combine
multiple targets to into one schema? Or will that require knowledge of
the target UUID from the xcodeproj file?

Some time ago I looked into adding a schema generator purely implemented
as a CMake module but came to the conclusion that it is not a viable
approach without CMake modifications. Especially the unstable UUIDs
across project re-generation gave me some headaches. So I decided that a
schema generator would best fit best within the Xcode generator.

Now there's the first task defining requirements and creating an useful
and extensible CMake language API for schema generation.

Thanks,
Gregor
