It does seems that this is currently broken in CVS, I am looking into 
the issue.  I have to figure out some way of testing for this...  It has 
been broken many times in the past as well....

Xcode is sort of broken here.  If you have static libraries, and link 
them into a target the "normal" Xcode way, then Xcode will figure this 
stuff out.  However, if you need to specify a static library more than 
once, (to say get around circular depend issues), then you have to use 
-l flags in Xcode.  Xcode provides no way to add extra depends to a 
target, it allows the -l flags, but there is no way to rebuild if the 
library you link against gets changed.   So, we create a Makefile that 
does the check for us, and removes the targets that use the libraries 
when the libraries change.
