script for building multiple arch builds at once
# Purpose:
# Create a static library for iPhone from within XCode
# Because Apple staff DELIBERATELY broke Xcode to make this impossible from the GUI (Xcode 3.2.3 specifically states this in the Release notes!)
# ...no, I don't understand why they did such a stupid thing either!
#
# Author: Adam Martin - http://twitter.com/redglassesapps
# Based on: original script from Eonil (main changes: Eonil's script WILL NOT WORK in Xcode GUI - it WILL CRASH YOUR COMPUTER)
#
# More info: see this Stack Overflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3520977/build-fat-static-library-device-simulator-using-xcode-and-sdk-4

# First, work out the BASESDK version number (NB: Apple ought to report this, but they hide it)
# (incidental: searching for substrings in sh is a nightmare! Sob)
SDK_VERSION=$(echo ${SDK_NAME} | grep -o '.\{3\}$')
# Next, work out if we're in SIM or DEVICE

# IF this is the original invocation, invoke WHATEVER other builds are required
#
# Xcode is already building ONE target...
