We should be able to use a subrepo, which will be read-only for anonymous and read-write if you have appropriate push access, once libpurple makes the switch to monotone. At that time, setting up a subrepo and then using an Xcode build target which calls out to configure & make seems ideal. It's outside my comfort zone to do it right, but I'd support someone wanting to take it on. You might look to perian's build process, for example, which uses an Xcode project and several targets with automake-based builds, as a useful model. -Evan
