There is (I had forgotten about it) a whole “Build Locations” section in the 
actual project settings, which defaults to setting things relative to the 
project-um-workspace setup for the build location, but can (IIRC) also be set 
to absolute paths, or paths relative to something else.

I guess Xcode does something rational with the build settings when you open an 
old project. It’s a little mysterious, because until fairly recently the Xcode 
project was always in a 3.2-or-earlier-compatible format, which meant that 
whatever you put in the project-um-workspace setup would somehow be respected 
by Xcode 3(!). But I can’t pretend to want to know exactly how it works, or 
worked.
