     # xcode_settings sections, or better yet, should use non-Xcode-specific
     # settings in target dicts.  SYMROOT is a special case, because many other
     # Xcode variables depend on it, including variables such as
     # PROJECT_DERIVED_FILE_DIR.  When a source group corresponding to something
     # like PROJECT_DERIVED_FILE_DIR is added to a project, in order for the
     # files to appear (when present) in the UI as actual files and not red
     # red "missing file" proxies, the correct path to PROJECT_DERIVED_FILE_DIR,
     # and therefore SYMROOT, needs to be set at the project level.
