Implementing vendor install
===========================

- Add the application project to the workspace (applescript)
- Iterate through all projects in the workspace and "discover" any Vendor projects (applescript or plist?)
  - Remove unused vendor projects
  - Add required vendor projects
- Add/remove static library as dependency to target (plist)
  - Add/remove a PBXBuildFile
  - Add/remove a PBXFileReference
  - Add/remove to PBXFrameworksBuildPhase as a file
  - Add/remove to random ass group that also contains Frameworks and Products
- Add $(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR) to user header search path for target
- Add required Frameworks
- Modify linker flags

Creating a "proper" static library
==================================
If there is no project file...
- Create a new project file (based on static library template) (applescript)
- Add all header/source/resource files to project file (applescript)

For all project files...
- Mark select (or all) header files with public visibility
- Set the “Installation Directory” build setting to “$(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)”
- Set the “Skip Install” build setting to “Yes” 
- Set the “Public Headers Folder Path” to “$(TARGET_NAME)”

==================
- Library specs will work for some recent version of a vendor library.  However, the spec may not be completely accurate/functional for all versions.
