Pretty much the same problem.  A lot of it has to do with static 
libraries, if you link a target to another target the Xcode way then you 
can not specify the link order or multiple links of the target that 
might be required for static builds.  I don't want all the complication 
of trying to special case the shared libraries so the Makefile hacks are 
used because it is a generic solution.

I don't think so.  There might be some way to do this at this point, I 
really have not investigated this recently.   The basic feature that 
would get rid of the helper makefiles for targets would be a way to make 
targets depend on an external file.
