The way I imagine this working is that the existing .idl file references in the
(e.g., WebCore) project would become members in a target with a custom build
rule for “*.idl”. Target membership is itself another list inside the
.xcodeproj file, just one you manage through checkboxes in Xcode (and can be
done reasonably quickly as part of adding a new file reference).
Whether or not this actually creates one fewer “place a IDL file needs to be
listed” (which I think is a worthwhile goal), I think you should still remove
the Makefile build phases from Xcode for the reasons you originally cited.
